Over 100 years ago the original firm of Williamson & Co was established and based in High Bridge
Newcastle upon Tyne and at four branch offices.

In 1990 the name of the firm changed to Williamsons and the firm then practised from the
Whitley Bay and Hexham offices.

Williamsons is made up of three partners, an assistant solicitor, a legal executive and support staff.

We can help you with every aspect of conveyancing whether it be a transfer, remortgage, sale
or purchase. We also deal with right to buy, sale of part, assents and deeds of gift.

We can assist you with the assignment, creation or sale of a Lease for business premises for
example a shop, warehouse or studio. We also deal with the sale and purchase of small
businesses such as pubs, restaurants and hotels.

Making a Will is an important decision for everyone to consider. By having a valid Will the emotional
and financial strain of dealing with the death of a loved one can be reduced.

We can prepare your Will, execute Lasting Powers of Attorney, handle contentious probate and deal
with the administration of a deceased’s estate whether or not they made a Will.

We represent landlords in all aspects of landlord and tenant matters including drafting tenancy
agreements and leases, dealing with arrears of rent and breaches of covenant, possession
proceedings and instructing bailiffs to recover goods or remove tenants.

We also draft and advise on Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements and residential Leases on
behalf of tenants.

We have dealt with civil and commercial litigation and arbitration over many years in matters running
into millions of pounds. Construction claims are an area where we have a long standing reputation and
act for major contractors and professional firms.

We act for both employers and employees in contentious and non contentious matters and
Employment Tribunals and have a high success rate. This aspect of our practice often needs
particular vigilance in regard to the costs of the matter and achieving a commercially effective
resolution is of great importance.

We also advise on Compromise Agreements.
