Established in 1998, Duncan Lewis & Co is one of the country's fastest growing firms of solicitors, servicing both corporate entities and private individuals. This growth has derived from a simple mission: to provide a reliable, accurate and practicable legal service.
However, whilst we consider ourselves expert in the matters we undertake we never forget that we are dealing with people, frequently disadvantaged, who may find the law complex and daunting. We undertake to guide you through the law by applying it to resolve the problems that you entrust to us.
Experience has shown that our clients require four things from us: Commitment, Communication, Confidentiality, and Courtesy, and upon these we lay the foundations of our service.
