Hathaways

The firm of Edward Hathaway & Co. commenced business on 1 September 1985, with Mr. C. Edward Hathaway and Mr. Charles Weidner as original partners. Although they had purchased the firm of Mr. F. S. Lowe, a predominantly private client based practice handling mainly Conveyancing matters, Messrs Hathaway and Weidner, with the assistance of Mrs Therese Silver, who joined as a partner in 1986, widened the client base to include criminal and family cases, as well as matters of a contentious and non-contentious nature, including Legal Aid work. This initial platform was built upon in subsequent years with the addition of partners Mr. Kevin Graham and Mr. Christopher Kyle. Sadly, Mr. Edward Hathaway retired due to ill health in June 1994 and died on 10 September 1994, Mrs. Therese Silver retired as a partner at the end of 1999. With effect from the 4th March 2002, the firm changed its name to Hathaways.
