A Short History of rhw

rhw Solicitors were founded back in 1835 when George Crafter established the firm of Burton & Son in Central London. This later became Rodgers Horsley & Burton until the Guildford associates of the practice merged with Whitemans in 1991. The company became Rodgers Horsley Whitemans. The name was abbreviated to rhw Solicitors in December 2002.

What some of our clients say:

“Many thanks to you and your team for a great job. We all agree that without your services this would not have been possible”

“Just thought you might be interested to know that your advice last autumn helped to conclude a franchise agreement in December and I am now up and running… If I need any further help of a legal nature I will certainly be in touch”
