Davis Simmonds & Donaghey is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 266782. The SRA record lists 3 practising offices: the head office at 5 High Street, Gillingham, ME7 1BE, plus 2 further offices in Canterbury and Folkestone. It also trades as Davis Simmonds Donaghey. The register carries 2 previous names, most recently Davis & Simmonds. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 6 areas of law: Personal Injury, Children, Probate, Family, Landlord and tenant and Wills and trusts. Residential property is not among the reported areas, so the firm does not appear in the conveyancing lists on this site's town and city pages.

The head office postcode ME7 1BE falls within Medway (South East), where the SRA register lists 36 authorised firms with a practising office, 15 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Hawkridge & Company LLP (400 m, Gillingham), Khera Solicitors LTD (900 m, Gillingham), DGB Solicitors LLP (1.1 km, Chatham), The Kingsley Smith Trustee Company (1.2 km, Chatham) and Kingsley Smith Solicitors LLP (1.2 km, CHATHAM, Kent). 2 of those 5 report residential property work.

The SRA records the firm's constitution as partnership, a structure with no Companies House registration, so there is no company record to cross-reference; the SRA authorisation record is the only public register entry for the firm.
