Established in 1850, our continued success is based on an unsurpassed loyalty and integrity to our clients, both old and new.

We are one of the most established firms of solicitors in London and act for a diverse range of clients throughout the UK and from overseas.

Today Child & Child provide clients with professional advice and expertise in relation to a range of practice areas including residential and commercial property, leasehold enfranchisement, family, litigation and dispute resolution, wills, employment law, boundaries, rights of light and party wall disputes.

Child & Child continues to build upon its traditional core values of professionalism, integrity and high levels of personal partner attention in the context of an efficient, fast-moving and modern law firm.

We have prepared a series of easy to understand legal guides to provide assistance in dealing with some commonly encountered legal problems.

Child & Child is now the trading name of Child & Child Limited, a recognised legal services body. The company incorporates the practice of Child & Child, established in 1850. Our continued success is based on an unsurpassed loyalty and integrity to our clients, both old and new.
