About Us

Wainwright & Cummins LLP Solicitors in London

For more than 40 years, Wainwright & Cummins LLP has been serving individuals, families, and businesses across London with trusted legal advice and strong representation.

Established in 1985 by founding partners Andrew Wainwright and Jonathan Cummins, the firm originally opened in Harley Street, Marylebone before relocating to Brixton in South London, where our headquarters remain today. Over the decades, we have built a reputation for commitment, integrity, and results driven legal services.

Our experienced Criminal Defence Solicitors are recognised for providing robust representation at every stage of the legal process, from police station attendance through to Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court proceedings. We understand how stressful criminal investigations and prosecutions can be. That is why we act quickly, communicate clearly, and fight tirelessly to protect our clients’ rights and freedoms.

Alongside our longstanding expertise in Criminal Defence, we also provide specialist legal services in Conveyancing, Family & Childcare Law, Wills & Probate, and Housing Disrepair matters. Whether you are buying a property, resolving sensitive family issues, planning for the future, or seeking action against poor housing conditions, our legal team delivers practical advice with a personal approach.

In 2006, the firm expanded further through the incorporation of part of Hallmark Atkinson Wynter. Several of their partners continued with the practice as consultants, strengthening the depth of expertise available to our clients throughout London and the South East.

Wainwright & Cummins LLP is fully authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and holds the prestigious Lexcel accreditation from The Law Society, recognising excellence in legal practice management and client care. The firm has also been recognised as a leading law firm in The Legal 500, one of the UK’s most respected independent legal directories.

Our in house Advocacy Department allows us to represent clients from the very beginning of a case right through to court proceedings. This continuity ensures clients receive consistent support, strategic advice, and confident representation throughout their legal journey.

Based in Brixton, we proudly support clients across London and the Home Counties, with access to consultation facilities across the capital. We also provide a 24 hour emergency legal service for urgent Criminal Defence matters because legal emergencies do not wait for office hours.

At Wainwright & Cummins LLP, our mission has remained the same for four decades. We are committed to defending our clients’ rights, delivering exceptional legal advice, and providing a professional service built on trust, experience, and dedication.
