Who are we and what do we do?

Wildcat Law was founded to offer a modern legal service, we are not a traditional High Street or City Law Firm.

We are a boutique law firm covering all of England and Wales.

Unlike most law firms in England and Wales we offer both Solicitors and Barristers in one firm and our services are delivered remotely via MS Teams or in Court.

 At Wildcat Law we believe in making the complex simple. Which means for our clients a point of contact who will speak in plain English and manage your legal matter from start to finish.

Our Partners all share the same values but come from a range of backgrounds.
