WBW Solicitors is pleased to announce the launch of its new Business Services Team, bringing together leading experts from across the firm to provide businesses with a fully integrated and comprehensive range of legal services.

From 1st September 2025, businesses of all sizes – from start-ups and sole traders to established SMEs and larger enterprises – will be able to access a dedicated team of specialists under one roof, working closely together to deliver coordinated, strategic legal solutions.

The team will be headed by Anthony Fripp, Partner and Head of Commercial Property. By drawing on the firm’s breadth of expertise, the Business Services Team will offer tailored support across the full spectrum of business law, including commercial property, company and commercial matters, corporate transactions, employment law, tax advice and compliance, and specialist legal services for farms and estates. Clients will benefit from the team’s collaborative approach, ensuring that legal advice is not given in isolation but considers every aspect of their business needs.

Anthony Fripp, Head of the Business Services Team, said:
“We are proud to launch a team that reflects the way modern businesses operate – connected, collaborative, and forward-thinking. By bringing together our key business law specialists, we can provide advice that not only addresses the immediate issue but also supports our clients’ long-term goals. This joined-up approach ensures our clients have one team they can turn to for all their legal needs.”

Steve Bulman, Managing Partner at WBW Solicitors, commented:
“This is an exciting development for the firm and for the businesses we serve. By aligning our key business law departments into one cohesive team, we can offer a truly joined-up service that supports our clients through every stage of their commercial journey – from setting up and growing, to restructuring or selling.”

With offices across Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset, WBW Solicitors is ideally positioned to support businesses throughout the South West. Whether it is negotiating a lease, managing a workforce, protecting intellectual property, or completing a business acquisition, the new Business Services Team will work together to provide clear, commercial advice that is practical, proactive, and aligned with each client’s objectives.

The launch of this new team underlines WBW’s commitment to delivering first-class legal support to the business community, combining depth of expertise with a personal, local service.
