Established in 1881 in Bromley in Kent by Arthur George Weller, we have always been an advocate for positive change, and have grown and developed in parallel with the needs of our broad range of clients. UK and international businesses are drawn to our strong reputation in corporate law and finance, built on our expertise in financial structuring and guiding public companies to successful flotation. Our trusted advisory role also now extends to over 500 charities, reflecting the confidence not-for-profit organisations place in our specialist advice.
