About Curwens

Curwens is the amalgamation, in the early 1970's, of Curwen Carter and Evans, Jessopp & Gough and Trefor R James. This amalgamated Partnership originally adopted the name of Curwen Jessopp and James but later, in May 1990, adopted the name Curwens.

Jessopp and Gough is probably some 250 years old. We know that Joseph Jessop was a clerk to the General Court Barron for the Manor of Sewardstone in 1840 and the firm continued to provide a Clerk to the Court until the Court itself disappeared in 1965. Immediately after the War, Mr. W Edmondson was the Clerk to the Court and his son Michael Edmondson was a Partner in the firm.

Henry Brown Curwen and James Carter, two sole practitioners in Holborn, joined together in partnership in 1899. Thomas Evander Evans was taken on as an Articled Clerk in 1903 and later was taken into the Partnership which then became Curwen Carter and Evans. This practice had its main office in Grays Inn Square, Holborn until the early 1980s.

Trefor R James moved from South Wales and set up his practice in the Old Vestry Offices in Enfield in the late 1930's. His son, Wyndham James, took over the practice and later became Senior Partner of the amalgamated Partnership. He retired from practice at the end of 1999, after many years with the firm.

Many things about the law have changed since the days of Henry Brown Curwen and Joseph Jessop. But whilst the Curwens of today is proud of its up to date technology and the professionalism of its staff we are more than aware of the responsibility of being a good service to our clients and our community in this fast changing world.
