Selwood Marr began in Leeds in 1972, when two solicitors set up on their own so that every client would know who was doing their work. We still run the firm on that rule.
Each matter has one partner from the first call to the last letter. That partner answers your questions, signs off the advice and tells you in writing what the work will cost before it starts. If we are not the right firm for you, we say so and suggest where to go.
We opened in London in 1998 and stayed small on purpose: six partners, two offices and a team that knows your matter. Ring either office and a partner will call you back the same working day.
