Solicitors in Cambridge
We opened our first Cambridge office in the heart of the City’s professional services district in March 2008. In November 2015, we moved to our current premises. During this time we have become firmly established as one of the top tier solicitor firms in Cambridge and within the Cambridgeshire area.
Our Cambridge team of expert lawyers and solicitors specialise in a full range of services across corporate and commercial law, dispute resolution, property law, mediation law, agricultural law, employment law, wills and estate planning and family law. It is also the base for our specialist strategic land development, education, planning, insolvency and technology sector teams. Watch our short video to discover how Birketts can help you.
Of a total of over 1000 staff, more than 120 lawyers are based in the Cambridge office where we have attracted key individuals across the firm’s key service areas.
