Why Willans?

Why Willans solicitors in Cheltenham

We have some of the best legal brains in the country ready to work with you

Many areas of law which we advise on and a good number of our lawyers are recommended purely on merit year-on-year by national independent legal guides (including Chambers and The Legal 500) who speak to clients about their experiences.

We are also proud to be Lexcel-accredited, meeting a rigorous national measure that is only awarded to solicitors who meet the highest management and customer care standards. When you work with us, you know you’ll be in capable and experienced hands. With around 80 people, we are large enough to provide first-class specialist advice, yet small enough to give genuinely personal service.
