Who Are We?

Originally based in Lincoln’s Inn, London, CWJ is now a leading firm of Solicitors in Kent. The firm was founded in 1875 and moved to Orpington, Kent in 1951. As you might expect from a firm whose reputation has been built up over five generations, our values are rooted in a strong tradition of integrity and service.

It is a tradition that provides a solid foundation for today’s CWJ - conveniently situated in Orpington in the London Borough of Bromley, Kent CWJ is a progressive modern practice that operates proactively on its clients’ behalf by combining the knowledge and experience of talented individuals with systems built to minimise risk and maximise productivity.

We are constantly seeking ways to exploit current technology to improve the service we offer our clients; recognising that communication and speed of action are key factors in the modern world.

CWJ is a leading regional firm of Solicitors in Kent serving private individuals, businesses and organisations. With commercial clients ranging in size from sole traders to large public companies and other institutions such as schools, charities and medical practices, we have accumulated extensive experience of the legal issues faced by businesses and other organisations.  CWJ offers solution driven advice to all clients of the firm aiming to deliver the outcome best suited to our clients' needs.

CWJ provides the quality of service and astute legal advice you might expect from a large London firm at regional prices.
