Lodders is a full service law firm with offices in Stratford upon Avon, Henley in Arden and Cheltenham.

Founded more than 225 years ago, Lodders provides a range of services including agricultural law, private client work, property law, corporate and commercial law and charity law.

With more than 115 members of staff, the firm delivers a flexible, fresh thinking and joined-up advice service to solve even the most complex legal problems.

Mark Lewis, partner at Lodders and a member of the executive committee at the UK200Group, says: “As a firm we are delighted to have been accepted as a member of the UK200Group, which is a highly respected and forward-thinking organisation of quality-assured chartered accountants and lawyer firms.

“Our membership of the UK200Group will enable us to re-enforce our connections with accountancy firms across the West Midlands and beyond while joining with like-minded firms of solicitors locally and across the country.”

UK200Group president Nick Willis says: “I am pleased to welcome Lodders to the association and look forward to working closely with them. As the UK200Group continues to grow, their expertise will not only further enrich the service we provide to our members, but also the services they in turn offer to their clients.”
