Edwin David Charles Lord founded EDC Lord & Co in 1919 in Southall, Middlesex. The firm flourished during the next 30 years and after the Second World War Edwin Lord decided to retire and the firm was acquired by the practice of West and Langley (Bill West and Jim Langley). The firm continued to be named EDC Lord & Co and again flourished and developed in the later half of the 20th Century acquiring a number of other practices in its pursuits of growth and prosperity.

By the end of the last Century it had developed into one of the largest groups of property lawyers in the South East of England specialising in residential conveyancing and commercial conveyancing but also providing a full service to clients seeking advice in the areas of litigation, probate and trusts wills and general business law. The firm continues to grow and provide “clear ethical thinking” in whatever area of law we are advising our clients on.
