Delivering an outstanding service

Eddowes Waldron Solicitors is committed to providing a high quality legal service for all our clients, maintaining our reputation for acting fairly and being trusted. We always work with integrity, act in your best interests, and never allow our independence to be compromised. We understand that being involved in any legal process can be stressful and that good communication is the best way to avoid unnecessary frustration. Whilst we encourage the use of email for day to day enquiries, we are happy to use your preferred means of communication. We also recognise the importance of establishing a direct relationship between our legal advisors and our clients. For this reason, we ensure that there will always be at least one face to face meeting during your case, wherever possible. 


Our reception staff will always make you welcome whenever you visit our office. Wherever possible, your phone calls will be answered and messages will be taken by a human being, rather than a machine. If, at any point, you feel you are receiving poor service, we encourage you to raise this as soon as possible with the person dealing with your case or, if you feel more comfortable talking to them, with our reception staff.

Our history

We are proud of our extensive history of providing high quality legal services to a diverse range of clients.


The firm traces its origins back to 1855. In the more recent past, G R Eddowes & Waldron had offices at 34 and then 20 Irongate. In the early 1970s, our firm merged with the Derby branch of A J Cash & Sons, located at 47 Queen Street.


In the early 1980s, we moved to our current building in St Peter's Churchyard.


Despite our many years of service, our aim remains the same as ever: to obtain the best possible results for you, our client.

Our building

The building in which our law firm is sited, was constructed around 1900 and was originally an annexe to the Thurman & Malin department store in St Peter's Street (part of which is now McDonald's restaurant). It then became a government office, closing when Forrester House was opened.


Because of the Victorian design of the staircase and windows in the building, our policy is not to allow young children above ground floor level. If you attend an appointment with young children, you will normally be directed to the lower ground waiting area where a specialist lawyer will assist you.
