Our Cheltenham solicitors are rated by independent guides Chambers and The Legal 500 for technical expertise, so you can be confident that you are in very safe hands.

We believe in clear, open and honest communication at every step of the way. This means you will always know where you stand, whether we're helping you with business matters, or with your personal legal needs. We're a Cheltenham law firm, but we also advise global companies and individuals doing business in the UK.
Services
We are capable, responsive and do business with integrity - that's why generations of private and commercial clients have chosen to use us as their trusted advisors. 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.
Each member of our experienced team is used to working with entrepreneurs. We can help you with setting up your new UK venture with a range of business legal services, whatever type of business you're about to launch. Our solutions-focused approach is ideally suited to helping you to grow your business, with legal services tailored to the size and structure of your business.
Clear legal guidance to help you achieve your goal when buying, selling, starting or investing in a business. We understand business from a personal perspective, as well as a professional one, and pride ourselves on being more than corporate solicitors.

Our clients use us as business advisors and risk managers, as well as corporate solicitors capable of handling both large and small transactions, whether you trade as a company, partnership or sole trader.We provide clear, pragmatic advice to help guide our clients through the challenges of corporate deals.
Whatever your role in a business funding transaction, our attention to detail and experience will keep you on safe ground. Every business funding decision requires the right legal foundations, whether you're an investor, a lender, or someone seeking funding for your own business.

If starting a new business or looking to take an existing business to the next step and seeking funding from a bank, private equity house, or private investor, balancing the protection of your own business interests with the time pressures of securing the funding as quickly as possible is key.
Careful planning is key to the success of any business. To ensure that you are free to run your business and make it a success, agreeing a common approach between the owners of the business is essential.

Whether you are a group of people just starting out in business, or you are a sole trader or sole shareholder looking to introduce others into the ownership of your business, seeking advice from a corporate solicitor and taking the time to work through the various issues that can arise during your business journey is a worthwhile investment.

Great service, quick to respond and very happy with our service. Would highly recommend. Felt that our solicitor (Steve) was truly fighting our corner in getting our purchase done

An extremely professional and efficient team of solicitors. Paul Gordon assisted us with some minor litigation - which reached a prompt and satisfactory conclusion. The service was extremely good value and I would have no hesitation in recommending, or using this firm again in the future.

We have had the pleasure of using Mary Young twice now for the conveyancing of our properties and I cannot recommend her enough. She is efficient, knowledgeable and tenacious and was the hugest support to us in what was a fairly hideous sale process. Thank you so much Mary- we couldn't have done it without you!

I've had the pleasure of dealing with Steve Diamond on my recent flat sale and this was the best solicitor experience I've had thus far. He was friendly, approachable and helpful (qualities that I found my past solicitors lacking). I would not hesitate to recommend him or use his services in the future.

I approached Willans to help me retrieve money owed me (£18,000) for nearly 20 years by someone who had been a close friend and work colleague. The clarity of their advice at all times was exemplary, and allowed me to make informed decisions about how to pursue the debt cost effectively and with a minimum of fuss. Thanks to their excellent professional knowledge and judgement, I was able to recover the money in full, without recourse to the courts.

Highly, highly recommend Heloise (Willans). She is incredibly pro-active, efficient and decisive. She provides great updates and processes enquiries quickly. I can honestly say that she has made a usually stressful process, very easy. Thank you so much.

Simon Hodges did our conveyance for us on on our new build property. He was always available to answer any queries and made the whole process as stress free as possible. Highly recommended!

James was very helpful and informed me of all the decisions that I had in order for debt recovery. James went above and beyond to help me with my case, advising me throughout my different options and the pricing. I highly recommend Willians and I would highly recommend James to help with your case!

For our sale and purchase conveyancing we didn't hesitate to choose Steve Diamond after using him before and being pleased with his knowledge and speed of response. Hopefully we are in our forever home now but if we do move again we would definitely go to Steve/Willans!

Héloïse was efficient and always available to take my calls. She reassured me and was with us throughout our house buying journey. She replied to emails promptly and always did what she said she was going to do. I was so impressed with how organised and efficient she was and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a property.

We have used Willans twice now for conveyancing and have been very impressed both times.
Most recently Heloise looked after our house sale and purchase and has been amazing! She looked after us every step of the way, keeping us up to date through thick and thin and working with all members of our chain superbly. We were able to manage all possible steps via email and phone calls and required minimal visits into the office only when necessary; which was perfect to fit around our busy work and family schedules.
I would highly recommend Willans for your conveyancing needs!

Highly recommend Willans services. Heloise and the team were so thorough, efficient and brilliant at communicating through the entire conveyancing process, even in spite of the changes we faced due to Covid. I can’t recommend them enough and would definitely use Willans again in the future.

Heloise recently supported our purchase of a property under quite complex circumstances. Nothing was too much hassle and she was always willing to spend the time explaining the implications of any decisions before we moved forward. Her communication was brilliant, being quick to share updates without ever needing any prompts from us, as well as being readily available to take ad hoc calls as needed.
After frustrating Conveyancing experiences in the past, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Willans LLP and Heloise in particular.

Suzanne O'Riordan dealt with my property sale and purchase. Being my first move I was a bit apprehensive and naive about the process; but she made everything very clear and simple for me. A few issues arose throughout the process, but Suzanne was very knowledgeable and pro-active in her response, going over and above expected, and being sure to keep me fully in the loop throughout. Being able to get reliably speedy responses and reassurance throughout was invaluable, and made for a far far less stressful experience! Would highly recommend.

I cannot praise this firm enough. They have provided exemplary service both for me personally and my business, PennyWise Consultants Ltd, over the past two years. Everyone I have dealt with has been personable, knowledgeable and their fees have been very fair. Willans is perhaps too well kept a secret within the industry, so I am spreading the word!
