Our increasing success as a firm is entirely aligned to achieving success for all our clients.  We understand the challenges faced by our clients and we are committed to ensuring that we offer only talented lawyers who provide legal advice and representation dynamically and cost effectively.  We take a fresh, pragmatic and commercial approach to our legal practice that focuses on getting the best results for our diverse client base.

We pride ourselves on the personal service that we deliver, and the fact that instructing lawyers need not be a painful or expensive process. 

We recognise that the success of the firm rests upon the strong relationship developed with our clients and as such the practice is characterised by a personal service with a strong emphasis on providing an efficient and cost effective service.

Our office, in the heart of the Cathedral Close in Norwich, appears deceptively tranquil from the outside and gives no hint of the wide range of transactions being advised on within. Whether it is an international joint venture for the development of wind farms in Portugal or the drafting of a new Will, the setting up of charitable trust or a management buy out, we aim to provide the same level of personal, practical advice that our clients have come to expect of us.

Our strength as we move through the 21st century is based (as indeed it was 130 years ago) on the skills and experience of our partners and staff. This is combined with our ability to identify clients’ objectives and our desire to make sure they are realised. We help our clients deal with changing legal requirements and cope with the inevitable upheavals that occur from time to time in business or their private lives.
