CURWENS

Curwens was formed in the 1970s due to the merger of Curwen Carter and Evans, Jessopp & Gough, and Trefor R James. The firm"s name was initially Curwen Jessopp and James, but it was later changed to Curwens in May 1990. Jessopp and Gough, one of the oldest firms in the amalgamation, dates back to around 250 years, with Joseph Jessop serving as a clerk to the General Court Barron for the Manor of Sewardstone in 1840. The firm continued to provide a Clerk to the Court until the Court disappeared in 1965. Following the War, Mr W Edmondson served as the Clerk to the Court, and his son, Michael Edmondson, later became a Partner in the firm.

Henry Brown Curwen and James Carter, sole practitioners in Holborn, established a partnership in 1899. Thomas Evander Evans joined as an Articled Clerk in 1903 and later became a Partner, and the firm became known as Curwen Carter and Evans. The firm"s primary office was in Grays Inn Square, Holborn, until the early 1980s. Trefor R James founded his practice in the Old Vestry Offices in Enfield in the late 1930s after relocating from South Wales. His son, Wyndham James, became Senior Partner of the combined Partnership and retired from the practice at the end of 1999.

In 2011, the established Enfield firm of Christos Wybrew merged with Curwens. Despite significant changes in the law since the days of Henry Brown Curwen and Joseph Jessop, Curwens takes pride in its modern technology and professional personnel and is committed to offering outstanding service to its clients and the community in this rapidly changing world.
