Wadsworths Solicitors Shirley
Our Shirley office was established in October 1986 by Stephen Wadsworth.
As Managing Director, Stephen ran the practice alone until his son, John Wadsworth, became a fellow Director and Shareholder in 2010.
In February 2015, after 28 years of leading the practice he had founded, Stephen retired, and John took on the role of Managing Director.
Now, in 2025, we have four Directors across our various office locations: John Wadsworth, Alexandra Tait, Michael Wadsworth, and Gemma Dempsey.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of professional service and believe that ensuring our clients’ satisfaction is of the utmost importance.
We always act with our clients’ best interests at the forefront of our minds. Where particular work demands it, we are tenacious and determined to achieve the outcomes sought.
