Helping People since 1824
We can trace our roots all the way back to 1824, when solicitor John Wadsworth set up as an attorney on Fletcher Gate. Twenty-six years later, in 1850, George Bell Rothera – the first of six generations in his family to work in the legal profession – established the firm Rothera Bray. Whilst we have undergone a number of transformations since then our reputation as a friendly, respected and forward-thinking firm has remained consistent.
Our HeritageWith you all the way
Rothera Bray can trace its roots back as far as 1824 and in over 200 years, we have constantly excelled in serving the community with an ethos built around exceptional client care. We are passionate and enthusiastic about looking after our clients and enjoy helping them achieve their goals.
We’re proud of our heritage but are also focused on our future. Our values are built around relationships, openness, and transparency, ensuring we are approachable and responsive and that we act for our clients with heart and passion. We like to find refreshing and innovative ways of doing things and we are focused on the bigger picture. Social responsibility and sustainability is central to our approach; we act locally and think globally.
Our values are not just held by the firm, but by each and every person who comes to work here and who have been chosen specifically with our culture in mind.
