Our mission is to be an approachable, accessible provider of high-quality legal services across the South West whilst being part of the local communities in which we are located and to be the firm of choice for both clients and staff.
Our company is one of the largest legal practices in the South West, with 13 offices covering Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.
With clearly defined divisions catering for business and private clients, our teams are able to offer the very best legal advice through a full range of legal services, across a wide range of areas and commercial sectors.
With more than 145 legal professionals on our team, visit our ‘People’ page to meet them all.
WBW Solicitors and Chartered Financial Planners has a long history of working and building relationships with individuals, organisations, and companies in the South West. We are dedicated to providing the best legal and financial services to our local community and, as part of this philosophy, we actively support and sponsor local groups, clubs and charities.
Each year we have a nominated charity of the year, our current chosen charity is Alzheimer’s Society. Alzheimer’s Society’s funded research aims to improve diagnosis, develop new treatments, and improve care and support for people living with dementia.
WBW Solicitors has taken a significant step towards fostering a more inclusive and compassionate society for those affected by dementia. The firm has pledged to become a dementia-friendly organisation, with individuals across the business participating in training sessions to become ‘Dementia Friends.’ This initiative will empower them to provide support to individuals with dementia and their families.

At WBW, we take pride in ourselves for our corporate social responsibility.
We are glad to be fortunate enough that we can provide charitable donations to great causes such as the ‘Make a Will Week’ where we raised £9,165 for Rowcroft Hospice. We are also thankful that we have such vibrant local communities around us with an abundance of activities and events to get involved with, for example, The Big Tackle event organised by Rowcroft Hospice which we have been sponsors of since its inception in 2020.
However, we believe being socially responsible extends beyond the community and charity work that we do. We argue that in order to be truly socially responsible we must actively try to limit our impact on the environment. This is why we have considerably increased our efforts in environmental responsibility over the last few years.
WBW put the ‘’World first’’ when it comes to sustainability, awareness of our impact on the environment and reducing our carbon footprint. We promote the circular economy principle of reducing, repairing and reusing as much as possible in all thirteen of our offices. When purchasing new supplies we ensure all our paper is 100% recycled and we work closely with our suppliers to ensure the products we use are sustainable wherever possible. Toner Cartridges and IT equipment are also recycled. As the number of our offices expand we ensure travel between locations is limited to essential journeys, and where necessary combined with the delivery of post or stationery.
In order to further offset our impact on the environment, we are using Binit for the majority of our waste removal services and print our business cards only on 100% recycled paper. Binit are experts in commercial waste removal and more importantly, recycling. No matter what recycling and rubbish we produce, Binit have the vehicles and facilities to process it locally and in the most eco-friendly way possible. Nothing gets sent directly to the landfill. They send nearly all the rubbish to be incinerated at Energy from Waste (EfW) plants. These generate electricity and heat that powers homes in the UK. The by-products and bottom ash are generally used in the construction industry and any metal in that ash is recycled. Recycling, such as glass, cardboard or tins are processed at local Material Reclamation Facilities (MRF) and can be taken mixed or source-segregated.

James was very helpful and explained everything in detail. I would definitely use WBW again and would recommend your service to family and friends should they need to seek legal advice.
Alexandra did a good job in difficult circumstances. We were very happy with all the work that was carried out for us and will continue using WBW for our ongoing house purchases and sales.
Myself and my husband are so grateful for Carla’s professionalism in dealing with our house sale and purchase. At times it was incredibly stressful, but Carla reassured us at every step. There was never a time when I was unable to contact Carla to ask for advice and guidance. We can’t thank her enough for the amazing legal work Carla did on our behalf and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.
Mr Selley has a thorough and rare understanding of life in a park home. He also has contacts who have complementary (non-legal knowledge) of park homes that he called on to help me.
Thank you to you and your colleagues for the professionalism and service offered in dealing with my late father’s estate. We wanted the things that we could not deal with to be handled with the minimum of fuss and involvement from us and you have achieved that, which we appreciate.
Thank you for all the help you have given me regarding the two sales and the problem I had. You are definitely a great asset to the company.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and assistance in the winding up of my late mother’s estate.
David Wheaton has been my solicitor for over 20 years and I am a frequent mover. David and all the staff in Sidmouth have always been friendly and helpful.
Danielle was polite, diligent, professional and most helpful throughout the representation. I will definitely ask her to help me again when the need arises.
I could not have wished for a more professional advisor than Jane Couch who dealt with my case with the utmost efficiency. Also her assistant Kirsty White. A good team I couldn’t thank them enough.
