Award-winning solicitors providing pragmatic, commercial legal advice to individuals and businesses across the South West.
About the Firm
Sterling & Associates was founded by Richard Sterling in 1987 from a modest practice on Milsom Street. Over nearly four decades, we've grown into one of the South West's most respected legal practices.
Now led by a second generation of partners, we occupy a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Queen Square — reflecting both our heritage and our standing in the Bath legal community.
