History of firm

The origins of Furley Page can be traced to one James Hanson, attorney at-law, and 'man of affairs', who practised alone in Burgate, Canterbury around 1725. A tablet in his memory in St Martin's Church states that 'on account of his abilities and integrity in the profession and the practice of the law and other valuable qualities, he died universally esteemed'. It is in this spirit that the firm aspires to continue.

In the 1950's Furley and Page merged with the Whitstable and Tankerton practice of E.A.Barton, thereby extending the firm's influence into the coastal towns. In 1967 Furley & Page and Fielding & Pembrook were amalgamated to form the foundation of today's practice.  The names of the firm have changed since that date, to Furley Page, Fielding and Pembroke, followed by Furley Page, Fielding and Barton. In 2001, the name of the practice changed to Furley Page Solicitors.  In 2006, Furley Page became an LLP, whilst still maintaining the trading name : Furley Page Solicitors.
