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.

Our firm is the amalgamation of the legacy firms of Bartlett Walters and Parry, founded in 1750, and Gardiner and Millhouse, founded in 1960.

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.

Paolo G.

I have been a client of Bird Wilford and Sale since 1996 when I purchased my first house, in the time since for all my affairs I have used no one else.The reason, well in my opinion there is no one better, having dealt with multiple associates within the practice each one has delivered regardless of the nature of the task at hand.I recently completed on three properties all at one time, the correspondence per property was clear with each one having one or more variables.I recently dealt with Nicola Stevenson and Diane Hyde, both made the experience simple and swift for me as I also have a full-time job. Accuracy with prompt timing was very important to me.I often see on social media “does anybody know a good solicitor”, well the answer is simple, and you need not look any further.I look forward to the time I need their services again, I hope you do too.

James M.

BWS Law was professional all round when it came to arranging a property transfer, prompt with correspondence, and clear in that communication. Would recommend.

Kate G.

One of the best solicitors I have ever used. They explain things to you that you do not understand and are very professional. I would highly recommend Peter Baker and Michelle Green who work here. Thank you both we will be back

Helen H.

Clare Swinfield supported me in the sale of a bungalow in Hampshire. Everything went very smoothly and minor complications were easily dealt with. Clare and other staff that I met at BWS had a professional approach and always explained what was happening. I will certainly recommend BWS Law and use them again in the future if necessary.

Ian T.

Friendly, reliable service. Quick response, extremely professional and super helpful throughout the whole process. Monica was clear about everything from the start and we felt at ease knowing she was working in our best interest and ensuring the best outcome. Highly recommended!

Steve S.

I had the pleasure of working with Peter and Michelle during what was initially a very complicated and daunting process. From the beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. What could have been a stressful experience was made surprisingly smooth and straightforward thanks to their clear communication, attention to detail, and ability to explain everything in plain terms.They took the time to ensure I understood each step, were always available to answer my questions, and handled everything efficiently and confidently. I genuinely felt like I was in good hands throughout.I highly recommend BWS Law to anyone looking for a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about making things easier for their clients. Thank you again for all your help!

Tom R

I recently used BWS Law for a transfer of equity. The team there was amazing, especially Nicole and Roy who swiftly dealt with this matter.Many thanks on behalf of my father, M, and myself

Orlaith G.

We instructed BWS for the both sale and purchase of properties. We have now completed of the purchase element so I felt it was appropriate to provide some feedback. We worked closely with Roy and Nicole and we cannot thank them enough. They were communicative, available and importantly, very efficient. They worked diligently to meet our deadlines and communicate on our behalf. The online solution - Redbrick - was also great from the perspective of visibility and document sharing. We look forward to continuing to working with them on our sale.

Allan R.

We wanted to update our wills and have lasting power of attorney created.We have used BWS Law before and decided to continue using them.Our solicitor, Georgia, proved to be a good listener and easy to discuss matters with. Due to her excellent explanations and advice we found the whole process to be a straightforward task.Should it prove necessary to employ a solicitor again we shall use BWS Law.

Sharon B.

When myself and my sister became responsible for selling our deceased parents property, BWS Law based in Loughborough, were one of the solicitors recommended to us by our estate agents. I'm so glad we chose them, as Clare and her team couldn't have been more informative, and patient during the whole process, which didn't go as smoothly as we'd hoped, as the first sale was very lengthy, and eventually fell through. Thankfully, our second sale was a success, and the property has now been sold. Professional, and helpful solicitors, who are also very approachable should more advise be needed. Thank you to Clare, and your team. Definitely recommend BWS Law.

Ashton Potter

This was our second time using BWS Law, and it definitely won’t be the last. My wife, daughter, and I were selling our home and buying our forever home—something that’s often described as a stressful and complex process. Thanks to Roy and Nicole, it was anything but.Roy was incredibly thorough, always on the ball, and made sure every detail was covered. He answered all our questions and even helped us navigate things we hadn’t considered. His expertise gave us real peace of mind throughout.The real standout for us was Nicole—she was phenomenal. Always cheerful, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. She was there whenever we needed her, whether by phone or email, and she made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. Nicole is a true credit to the firm, and we’ll absolutely be asking to deal with her again in the future.A huge thank you to both Roy and Nicole for helping us secure our family home. We’re beyond grateful!

Danny Shaw

I would like to thank Georgii and Hollie at BWS Law who have recently just completed both the probate and subsequent administration of my late parents estate. Their legal advice and communication throughout the entire process has been second to none, often going out of their way to get things completed on time, as well as always keeping us up to date at important milestones throughout the process. Thank you very much to the both of you and BWS Law as a whole - I would definitely recommend with the highest distinction.Daniel Shaw (Dr.)

Did not consider any other solicitors to deal with the property in and outs of mother-in-law estate, having used BWS before in another matter.Georgia was on the ball from day one dealing with the six parties involved which made the whole episode painless for all concerned.

I cannot recommend Chloe Shipley enough; her exceptional legal expertise, compassionate approach, and unwavering support transformed a challenging time into a journey marked by clarity and confidence. From the very first consultation, she took the time to listen and explain all my options, ensuring every detail was meticulously handled with professionalism and genuine care. If you’re seeking a family law solicitor who truly puts your best interests at heart, look no further.

Karen Bowler

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.

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.

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.
