Wrigleys Solicitors

Wrigleys Solicitors is a specialist UK law firm founded in 1996 by Matthew Wrigley and Ann Duchart, who left a large national practice to build a more personal alternative. The firm advises private clients, charities and trustees on trusts, tax, pensions, property, agriculture and related niche areas. It deliberately excludes litigation, family law and mainstream commercial work, referring clients elsewhere when matters fall outside its scope. It has offices in Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle.

Practice areas centre on trusts and tax advice for private clients, charities and trustees; specialist pensions advice; and property and agricultural law for private clients and landed estates. Charities and trustee advisory forms a core strand of the work, with ecclesiastical and education law as related niche areas. The firm is recognised as one of the leading specialist practices outside London, and has grown organically on the strength of its work and word-of-mouth recommendations rather than through corporate expansion.

The firm describes a non-corporate, collegiate working environment and a personal, long-term approach to client relationships. It reports attracting nationally recognised specialists to a deliberately focused practice scope. Lawyers joining Wrigleys work within clearly defined niche areas alongside colleagues who are specialists in their fields.
