Pothecary Witham Weld is the name of the merged firms of Pothecary and Barratt and Witham Weld. The merger took place on 1st October 2006 with offices in London and Bishops Stortford. The new firm has a combined history of over 300 years. We offer a full range of legal services and are now placed amongst the leading firms in England and Wales providing specialist services to charities and religious institutions.
As well as advising on the specific problems and general business situations these institutions face, Pothecary Witham Weld is recognised for its expertise in private client work and advising clients on the protection and development of their commercial interests.

Whether you are entering into a permanent relationship, your relationship has broken down or your partner has died without leaving sufficient financial provision, we offer reliable, constructive advice whilst being sensitive to your individual situation.
