Our Story
A law firm built on trust, experience, and results.
Founded in London in 2001, SolicitorsCorner has grown from a small practice into a respected firm with expertise across five key areas of law.
Our History
Two decades of steadfast legal service
SolicitorsCorner was established in 2001 by senior partners Elizabeth Hargreaves and Jonathan Ashworth, who shared a conviction that excellent legal work and genuine client care were not mutually exclusive.
Starting from a single office near Lincoln's Inn Fields, the firm grew steadily through word-of-mouth referrals. As our reputation expanded, so did our team and our expertise. Today, we serve thousands of clients across England and Wales from our central London base.
Through every period of growth, our founding principles have remained unchanged: give honest advice, communicate clearly, and work tirelessly in our clients' interests.
