About Longden, Walker & Renney

Longden, Walker & Renney was founded in 1834 and remains based on John Street in Sunderland city centre, making it one of the longest-established practices in the city. The firm is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA number 568303).

It has a particular focus on clinical negligence and personal injury, acting for people who have been harmed by medical treatment or injured in accidents. Alongside that, the firm handles wills, trusts and probate, residential conveyancing, commercial property, business law and dispute resolution. That mix means a family can use the same firm for a house purchase, a will and the administration of an estate. Anyone considering a negligence or injury claim should ask early about time limits and how the claim would be funded, as these vary from case to case.
