Welcome to Waddell Taylor Bryan
When Elena Waddell, Ben Taylor and Chris Bryan set up WTB Solicitors LLP their ambition was to provide a legal service with a difference. Our ethos is to be committed to excellence both in our legal advice and client care and to represent ordinary people and their families: sorting out their legal problems efficiently and sensitively.
Our solicitors are all skilled and many have higher accreditations and are leading solicitors in their specialist area of law. They work hard for your success by listening and then acting quickly. All of our staff here at WTB are committed to the belief that justice and fairness are part of every legal solution.
We have a strong commitment to legal aid and if you have to pay for our legal services then we want to ensure that you receive value for money.
We believe that our clients want a personal legal service, one where they can meet their solicitor to discuss important, sometimes sensitive, issues and be represented by a solicitor they can trust.
All of our staff receive high-quality training and development; we are sure that you will benefit from this and from our promise to deliver legal advice you can trust, excellent client care and value for money.
We promise to deliver
advice you can trust

Equalities & diversity
WTB Solicitors LLP recognises the positive value of diversity, of promoting equality and fairness, and of challenging discrimination. Every employee has an important role to play in promoting the principles of diversity.
We treat everyone with equal respect regardless of age, disability, ethnic origin, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity, or caring responsibilities.
Our employment policies and procedures have been designed to ensure that our values and expectations are clear and consistent.
Our Equalities & Diversity policy sets out the principles of inclusivity and diversity and how these should be applied at all times, in particular with regard to recruitment, training and development, performance management, flexible working, reward and promotion of employees.
