About Us

Focus on Ethics

Hewetts are a modern and progressive law firm well equipped to meet client and community needs both via the traditional method of consultation and via the Internet. Our offices are in Reading but we have clients from all over the UK, including in particular Reading, Tilehurst, Henley, Bracknell, Earley, Caversham, Woodley and the Thames Valley.

We were established as long ago as 1893! We have a track record! We like to think that with this assurance of stability, reliability and sound advice you will become one of the many clients we have acquired over the years.

Based on our experience both past and present, we think we know what you need and demand from a modern law firm:

  • Approachability and a personal service
  • Expert advice in specialist areas
  • Value for money
  • Efficiency
  • Integrity and confidentiality
  • Flexibility

80% of our business comes to us by recommendation from existing clients, which is something we would always wish to maintain.

The firm is not authorised by the Financial Services Authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and so cannot generally give you any investment advice. But we are able in certain circumstances to offer a limited range of investment services to clients because we are members of and regulated by the Law Society. We can provide these investment services if they are an incidental part of and closely limited with the professional legal services we have been engaged to provide.
