About Wadsworths Solicitors

Wadsworths Solicitors are a family-run solicitors acting in the best interests of our customers and their families.

Wadsworths Solicitors was proudly established in Shirley, Solihull, in October 1986 by Stephen Wadsworth, who dedicated nearly three decades to building the firm’s reputation for exceptional legal services. Stephen ran the practice until 2010, when his son, John Wadsworth, became a Director and Shareholder, bringing a new generation of leadership to the firm.

In February 2015, after 28 years of commitment, Stephen retired, leaving behind a thriving practice built on his strong values of trust, integrity, and client care. Today, Wadsworths is led by four Directors: John Wadsworth, Alexandra Tait, Michael Wadsworth, and Gemma Dempsey, who continue to uphold the firm’s founding principles.

To better serve our growing client base, we expanded our presence by opening two additional offices in Henley-in-Arden and Tamworth in 2020, ensuring greater accessibility to legal services across the West Midlands and beyond.

“Michael and team in Shirley have been very helpful and amicable all the way through our dealings. They were very professional and understanding in our needs. We would highly recommend them.”

“Outstanding service! Thank you Alex! ⭐️

I had a fantastic experience with Wadsworth Solicitors, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Alex was absolutely amazing throughout! always responsive, proactive and clearly on top of everything at every stage of the process. This was my third attempt at selling my house, so it wasn’t the most straightforward journey, but Alex made the whole process feel smooth and manageable. Her advice was consistently clear, practical and reassuring, which really helped reduce the stress. It was obvious she genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome and her professionalism really stood out from start to finish. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is reliable, knowledgeable and easy to work with, Alex at Wadsworth Solicitors is an excellent choice.”

First class

Alex at Wadsworths is very friendly, easy to talk to and professional. She dealt with our matter as quickly as 3rd parties allowed and kept us informed throughout the process. I felt reassured and confident with her and could always ring her if i felt the need or email and get a quick response. I also found other staff that I came into contact with very pleasant and helpful. Thank you ”

“I had an outstanding experience with Wadsworths Solicitors and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. My solicitor, Gemma, was absolutely brilliant throughout both the sale of my apartment and the purchase of my new home.

She was incredibly quick, responsive, and always kept me updated at every stage, which made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and completely under control. Nothing was ever too much trouble – she really went the extra mile to ensure everything was handled efficiently and professionally.

What stood out the most was the level of trust I had in her. I felt confident from start to finish that everything was in safe hands, and thanks to her expertise, the entire process went seamlessly.

If you’re looking for a reliable, proactive, and genuinely supportive solicitor, I would highly recommend Wadsworths Solicitors – and especially Gemma!”
