MAITLAND Walker Solicitors are celebrating their 20th anniversary year following the recent opening of a Taunton office.

Set up in 1996 by EU and Competition Law specialist Julian Maitland-Walker, the firm has grown into a full-service practice with a strong team and enviable reputation ranked in both the Legal 500 and Chambers legal directories.

Speaking of the firm’s success, Julian Maitland-Walker points to the quality of the team: “We seek out great lawyers who will go that extra mile.

"We forge longstanding relationships with our clients through high quality and personal service”.

Benjamin Slade, partner, who heads Maitland Walker’s Property department, said: "We are looking forward to welcoming new clients to our offices and offer initial consultations with no commitments.

"We understand law firms can often be regarded as intimidating but Maitland Walker offers a friendly yet professional service with clear, jargon-free advice."
