Bird Wilford & Sale undertook a rebrand in November 2024 becoming the firm now known as BWS Law. We are proud to offer comprehensive legal services to company commercial, public sector, and private clients in the East Midlands. We do also service clients nationally and internationally given the leaps in technology using Teams, Zoom etc.

Our firm is the amalgamation of the legacy firms of Bartlett Walters and Parry, founded in 1750, and Gardiner and Millhouse, founded in 1960. With the merger in 1980 to form Bird Wilford & Sale, we have built a rich history of providing expert legal advice and services to individuals and businesses alike. Our practice is based in Loughborough, where we continue to uphold our commitment to delivering tailored solutions and exceptional client care.

In April 2025 BWS Law acquired prusinski solicitors and their entire team joined the BWS family.

Whether you require corporate services or expert legal advice as a private client, our team of qualified solicitors are here to assist you every step of the way. Contact us today to experience the excellence and professionalism that define our legal practice.

Professional and friendly service throughout our house sale by Clare. Regular updates and proactive follow up with our buyer that absolutely helped speed up the whole process.

I have used Clare Swinfield for conveyancing work for a number of years on numerous property transactions. She is always very punctual, efficient, and gets outcomes achieved. Would highly recommend.

Karen B.

The level of service received is excellent. From beginning to end, all aspects were dealt with promptly, efficiently and professionally. Erica Brownen dealt with a personal house sale, Nicola Stephenson is currently dealing with a commercial land sale and has previously acted on another commercial land sale for my employer's. Both solicitors are the best I have ever used. All staff are friendly and helpful. Communication is second to none, there is no waiting for days to get a call back or email response.Charges are very reasonable and thoroughly explained, with no hidden extras that often crop up through the process.I would recommend BWS every time.

James W.

The commercial property department at BWS law is outstanding. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Malcolm K.

Nicola Stevenson has been dealing with the sale of our business premises. She dealt with it in a very efficient and kind manner in what turned out to be a very stressful situation for us. We can not speak highly enough of her and her assistant Diane Hyde at BWS Law.

Thank you very much Georgii and BWS Law - I would definitely recommend with the highest distinction.Daniel Shaw (Dr.)

This team is great and easy team to deal with, and very helpful through everything. Chloe was my solicitor and she was very helpful throughout, knew exactly what she was talking about, very professional and helped me a lot to get the results that I needed. With being a lorry driver and find it very difficult to go to meeting, they found it very understand, and was great over phone calls to help where it was needed.

I delt with Georgia who provided me with a quote for BWS services when buying our first home. I felt quite out of my depth, but Georgia was incredibly patient with me and made me feel at instantly at ease. She was very professional and knowledgeable, always going out of her way to make tricky legal concepts more digestible and accessible for me so that I felt as informed and empowered as possible. She always responded promptly to any query I had which was so helpful and much appreciated, especially since not having this same level of service elsewhere! Would 100% recommend. Thank you, Georgia

Mickey Bowler

1742827345

Had a divorce that should have been easy, that turned into a 2 year battle because of my immature ex! Her greed and poor advice created a costly financial resolution, that was more or less the same as original offer!Throughout the process Stephen was amazing. Patient, professional and very knowledgeable. Reception staff polite, and Beth (Stephen's secretary) very helpful. Again thank you.Would definitely recommend.

Stuart Nicholls

1742057863

Dan whitworth

1741937498

BWS Solicitors are without doubt in my experience the most professional and efficient family law firm that I have ever come across.From my initial contact enquiry with Steve, dealing with Reanne on the admin Side and Chloe who represented me on my proceedings, the complete process was incredible.Chloe instructed me how an old fashioned solicitor should do, shes ahead of her game on all aspects of family law and to say I was impressed was an understatementThese 3 specialists treat there clients with the upmost respect, They make me feel so important and most of all with legal jargon they explain things in layman's terms which for anyone who doesn't have the law experience is so important.Im only part of the way in my family law dispute but I feel so confident knowing that Steve, Reanna and especially Chloe have my backThank you so much guys

We used BWS Law for the refinance of multiple flats with a new lender.

Absolutely fabulous service from start to finish. After speaking to the lovely lady on reception I spoke with Reanne, who was both patient and made me feel 100% confident she was in control of what I needed doing. Amar was the solicitor who looked after me, true Gent! What was a very stressful situation, it was dealt with by people who show genuine care and great understanding. Would certainly recommend if you want friendly, professional and caring people to look after you. 10/10 all round…Perfection

Amar at BWS Law recently facilitated a transfer of ownership with the Land Registry on my behalf. The work and consultancy provided were both first class and I'd happily recommend Amar to anyone requiring a similar service.

Izzy Laxton

We used Amar and Reanne for tenancy matters, we expected the process to take atleast 6 months however due to both Amar and Reanne’s efficiency and great legal advice we sorted this issue within 3 months!Reanne and Amar were always very helpful, approachable and at the end of the phone whenever we needed them!They saved us alot of money and stress.We will definitely use them for other matters should we need it in the future!Thankyou again both!

We recently engaged Erica Bronwen to manage the conveyancing for our home sale, and she delivered exceptional service from start to finish. Although the sale initially appeared straightforward, it became complicated due to our buyer’s poor choice of legal advisers. Erica handled these challenges with remarkable efficiency and professionalism, ensuring that nothing was ever too much trouble.She managed the entire process promptly, responding quickly and consistently to keep things on track. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Erica and BWS again for any future property transactions.
