Meet Peter Peter & Wright Solicitors, one of the West Country’s oldest and most trusted firms, with local heritage stretching back almost 300 years and offices in Bideford, Bude, Holsworthy and Okehampton. Though steeped in history, they’ve grown into one of the largest, most modern firms in the region.
With more than 30 experienced solicitors, consultants and legal executives across Devon and Cornwall, they provide expert, practical legal advice on day‑to‑day issues that matter most. That includes residential conveyancing, wills & probate, family law, employment matters, boundary disputes, litigation, and lifetime planning.
Their conveyancing team understands just how stressful moving home can be—second only to divorce in stress, apparently—and they work efficiently to steer you through every step from offer to completion, with clear communication and fixed‑fee transparency whenever possible
On the family law side, they’re known for a sympathetic approach—whether you're dealing with divorce, child arrangements, cohabitation disputes, or financial settlements. The team seeks amicable resolutions by default yet is always ready to represent you robustly in court if needed.
What really shines here is the firm’s Cornish‑Devon ethos: rooted in community, approachable in style, and backed by modern legal know‑how. Clients often report the staff as friendly, helpful and efficient—names like Connie and Lauren Downing surface in many glowing review comments.
Whether you’re popping in to their Holsworthy branch after a walk across Dartmoor, reaching them in coastal Bude, or contacting their Okehampton or Bideford offices, you’ll find genuine expertise delivered with clarity, empathy and value for money.
