# Walker & Sharpe
Walker & Sharpe is a long-established legal practice and estate agency firm based in Dumfries, South West Scotland. Founded in 1847, the business brings over 170 years of experience advising individuals and businesses across Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders and throughout Scotland.
The firm serves a diverse clientele requiring legal and property services, from families navigating difficult personal circumstances to business owners, agricultural enterprises, and property investors. They specialise in both contentious and non-contentious work, positioning themselves as a comprehensive legal service provider.
What distinguishes Walker & Sharpe is their commitment to balancing modern, progressive practices with traditional values—professionalism, reliability, and personal client contact. As a traditional "High Street" law firm, they prioritise straightforward, practical advice tailored to individual circumstances rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Their breadth of expertise across distinct practice areas—from family law and criminal defence to agricultural law and estate agency—enables them to serve complex client needs comprehensively. The firm's particular strength in agricultural law reflects their understanding of rural South West Scotland's demographic and economic character. Their dual role as both solicitors and estate agents is notable, allowing clients to access integrated legal and property services. This combination, alongside their deep local roots and established reputation, makes them a distinctive offering in their market—not a high-street chain, but an authentic, experienced independent practice.
