Farnfields at 90

For 90 years, Farnfields has worked alongside the people, land and businesses of the Southwest.

From a single solicitor in 1936 to a respected regional firm today, our story is built on trusted relationships, practical advice and a deep connection to the communities we serve.

As we mark our 90th year, we celebrate not only the history of the firm but the communities and clients whose stories are intertwined with our own.

Rooted in place

Our offices in Shaftesbury, Gillingham and Warminster place us at the heart of the towns and countryside we serve.

From farmland and estates to homes and local businesses, the region’s landscape and economy have shaped Farnfields’ work since 1936.

“Our history is not just the story of a law firm — it is the story of the families, farms and businesses we have supported across generations.”

Today that connection to place remains central to how we practise: local knowledge, long-term relationships and practical advice grounded in the realities of the South West.

Across generations

Many Farnfields relationships span multiple generations.

Clients often return to us through life’s milestones:

• Parents and children seeking advice on property, wills and succession
• Farms passing from one generation to the next
• Businesses growing from small workshops into regional employers

Continuity of advice has allowed Farnfields to stand alongside clients through life’s stages, often becoming part of their long-term story.

Looking ahead

Reaching 90 years is an important milestone but not a destination. Our focus remains

forward-looking. Farnfields continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of clients and communities across Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset and beyond.

What will never change is how we work: clear advice, enduring relationships and support when it matters most.
