Sherrards Solicitors LLP

Sherrards Solicitors LLP

About

Sherrards is a law firm made up of talented lawyers and an excellent wider team that keeps the whole place running smoothly.

Our philosophy is to keep things straightforward. Advice is pragmatic and cases are handled with little fuss. We find this refreshingly obvious approach attracts clients tired of people making things more complicated than they need to be.

We work out of two offices in London and St Albans and increasingly work from anywhere in the world.
