# Hewitt & Gilpin
Hewitt & Gilpin is a Northern Ireland-based law firm with offices in Belfast and Holywood, delivering legal representation to individuals and businesses since 1929. The firm manages the legal affairs of thousands of households and commercial enterprises across the region, positioning itself as a comprehensive legal partner rather than a specialist boutique.
The firm serves both commercial and private clients with particular market-leading expertise in the retail sector. For businesses, they provide commercial legal services and dispute resolution including mediation. Their private client practice spans residential conveyancing, family law, wills and probate administration, employment law, and charity law advisory services. They've developed notable expertise in public law and judicial review, successfully representing clients in high-profile cases across all court tiers.
What distinguishes Hewitt & Gilpin is their emphasis on client satisfaction and an enduring culture of integrity that has defined the firm for over eight decades. They prioritise efficiency and responsiveness whilst handling sensitive matters—particularly bereavement estates and family breakdowns—with genuine care and tact. Their multi-generational client relationships in residential property demonstrate client retention built on trust rather than transactional interactions. The firm actively champions alternative dispute resolution approaches, positioning them as pragmatic problem-solvers rather than litigation-first practitioners. Their breadth of practice areas, combined with sector-specific expertise and institutional stability, appeals to clients seeking established, reliable legal counsel rather than high-street convenience.
