About Us

For over 130 years, Clarkes Solicitors has been at the heart of the Shropshire community, delivering trusted legal advice with a modern, forward-thinking approach.  Founded in 1894, the firm has grown from a traditional local practice into a dynamic, multi-service law firm, supporting individuals, families and businesses across the region.  While the legal landscape has evolved, our commitment has remained the same — to provide clear, practical advice and exceptional client care.

With high street and town centre offices across Telford, Shrewsbury, Newport, Wellington and Shifnal, Clarkes offers the perfect balance of local accessibility and wide-ranging expertise.

We are proud of our strong ties to the communities we serve.  Many of our clients return to us time and again, and generations of families have trusted Clarkes to guide them through life’s most important moments.

Today, Clarkes is a full-service law firm, offering specialist legal advice across a comprehensive range of services, including:

• Family law and relationships

• Wills, trusts and probate
• Residential and commercial property
• Dispute resolution and litigation
• Employment and commercial law
• Criminal defence and personal injury

Our structure is built around dedicated specialists in every area, ensuring you receive expert guidance tailored to your situation — no matter how straightforward or complex.  At Clarkes, we believe legal services should be approachable, transparent and supportive.

Our experienced team takes the time to understand your circumstances, explain your options clearly, and guide you with confidence at every step.  We combine technical expertise with genuine care, giving you reassurance when you need it most.

We are a modern firm with a proud heritage and in 2008, Clarkes became Clarkes Solicitors LLP, embracing a modern structure that reflects our continued growth and ambition.  Today, we combine our long-standing heritage with progressive thinking, efficient processes, and a commitment to excellence.
