The Firm was established in 1946 by Mr Thomas Boyd Whyte who, at that time operated as a sole practitioner.

Mr Boyd Whyte’s underlying philosophy was one built on social responsibility and he saw a local need for the less able members of society.  Hence his commitment from an early day to Legal Aid.

In the 60 years since the firm was established, it has grown, but still honours that philosophy.

It is now believed that this should be extended to include all the local needs of a local community including conveyancing and probate and wills.

The Practice is spread over two offices.  The original site of the 302 Broadway is now occupied by the conveyancing, probate and family departments.  The criminal department is housed in it’s own apartment at 287/289 Broadway.

Whether a client is funding their own legal work or is in receipt of Legal Aid, it is the view that the service provided will be exactly the same.
