Meet Asma Shamim, who is the head of our Surrey offices.

Asma acts for local families and national companies alike, and she's spent years building relationships with the businesses and councils around Bookham and Guildford.

Her words: "Working in Surrey offers a unique combination of professional opportunity and quality of life. Surrey is renowned for its beautiful greenery, open countryside and picturesque villages, creating an environment that is both inspiring and enjoyable to work in. Equally important is the strong sense of local community.

Over the years, I have developed meaningful relationships with local businesses, councils, organisations and individuals, allowing me to build lasting connections and gain a real understanding of the communities I serve.

I particularly enjoy supporting small and independent businesses, which form the backbone of the local economy, helping them navigate legal challenges and achieve their ambitions. At the same time, Surrey offers exposure to an incredibly diverse client base, ranging from private individuals and family-run enterprises through to national and international corporate organisations. This variety makes the work both interesting and rewarding, as no two days are ever the same.

Being able to combine high-quality legal work with strong community connections in such an attractive part of the country is one of the reasons I am proud to work and live in Surrey."

A short bit of history...

Our story began in 1940 as Hedleys, serving clients from London and East Horsley. Over the years, the firm evolved, incorporating the well-established local practice of Fortescue, Graham & Lloyd in Bookham before becoming part of the Wellers Law Group in 2012.

While our name has changed, one thing has remained constant: our presence on the High Street.

For more than eight decades, we have been at the heart of the local community, supporting generations of families, homeowners, and businesses through life's important milestones.

That continuity really does matter. Having advised the community for over 80 years, we've witnessed changing markets, evolving legislation, and businesses passed from one generation to the next.

The law evolves, and so do the needs of our clients. But our commitment to delivering expert legal advice, exceptional service, and genuine local insight remains unchanged.

For generations, people have turned to us because we understand both the law and the community we serve.

You will find us on Bookham High Street, where we have proudly served the local community for more than eighty years in the same location. This reflects the trust that generations of local families and businesses have placed in us.

Over the years, clients have returned to us at every stage of life, whether preparing a Will, moving home, administering the estate of a loved one, putting Lasting Powers of Attorney in place for the future, or seeking advice for their business.

Many of the people we help today are the children and grandchildren of clients we have advised for decades providing expert legal advice with a personal, local approach.

We are proud to be part of the local community and look forward to helping individuals, families and businesses across The Horsleys, Effingham, Bookham and the surrounding area for many years to come.

Being a step-parent and having legal rights over your stepchild are two different things.

You might do the school runs and the bedtime stories, and still have no legal say in your stepchild's life. A step-parent doesn't automatically get parental responsibility.

The good news is you can change that. Usually through an agreement with the child's legal parents, or a court order if that isn't possible.

It's worth knowing your options if you're helping raise a child who isn't legally yours.

If you live with your partner but aren't married, you can put protection in place.

👉🏻You don't have to just hope it works out.

A cohabitation agreement sets out who owns what and what happens if you split up. It's a straightforward document, and it can save an enormous amount of heartache and cost later on.

Moving in together, or buying a home. Those are the moments to sort it, while everyone's still on good terms.

Have a think about whether you and your partner are properly protected. We're here if you'd like a hand with it.

There's no rule that says children automatically live with their mum after a separation.

The court doesn't start from mothers or fathers.

It starts from one question: what's best for the child. That usually comes down to their stability and the time they get with both parents.
