HKB Wiltshires

HKB Wiltshires is a venerable firm of solicitors, steeped in history and tradition, yet firmly rooted in the contemporary world. Our origins can be traced back to the mid-Victorian era when three separate firms were established in Great Yarmouth by Henry Robert Harmer in 1845, Frederick William Ferrier in 1850, and Frederick Danby Palmer in 1861. These firms subsequently merged to form a single entity, which has continued to evolve and expand over the years.

We are proud of our long-standing heritage, which is intertwined with the legal history of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Our ancestry can be traced back to earlier legal practices such as Reynolds & Palmer (1765-1787), Henry Palmer (1787-1871), Thomas Milles (1719-1765), and John Spendlove (1683-1731). The practice that eventually became Wiltshire Sons & Tunbridge was founded by John Cufaude in 1789, who was admitted as an attorney at the age of 24. His son, John Lomas Cufaude, continued the practice and went into partnership with Charles Henry Wiltshire in 1862. From 1869 to 2000, the senior partner was always a member of the Wiltshire family.

Our presence in Lowestoft was reinforced by the acquisition of Messrs. Seago Son & Allerton, which was founded 102 years previously by William Rix Seago. In the year 2000, Howard Killin and Bruce merged with Wiltshires to become HKB Wiltshires. Our firm remains committed to preserving and honouring our rich heritage while providing modern and innovative legal solutions to our clients.
