CAREERS AT WILLANS

A reputation for the calibre of our people

When you work for Willans, you become part of a firm that has a rich history. Our offices have been in Regency Cheltenham for more than 75 years, with the firm evolving through a series of mergers to become the size it is today.

We may be a friendly firm with a ‘family’ feel, but we pack a punch in terms of our performance in legal guides (such as Chambers and The Legal 500), the value of transactions we handle, and the household names we attract as clients.
