Solicitors in Nottingham city centre
The Rothera Bray law firm has had a constant presence in Nottingham’s city centre since 1824. This dates back to when one of the firm’s original founders, John Wadsworth, set up as an Attorney in Fletcher Gate.
Since 1989, we’ve been based at 2 Kayes Walk, in the heart of Nottingham’s historic Lace Market. The building was formerly the factory of lace manufacturer, Jacobys & Co.
The Lace Market head office is opposite St Mary’s Church, the largest medieval building in Nottingham. Over 80 staff work here, providing a broad spectrum of both personal and business legal services.
We’re proud to have served the people of Nottingham – providing both business and personal legal advice – for over 200 years.
Our offices are open Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
