Our History
Formerly known as Briggs Sayer & Co, our firm has a longstanding presence in Ripley rooted in the merger of respected local practices that came together to form PBS Solicitors (Pyms Briggs Sayer). Our heritage reflects decades of experience in delivering trusted legal services to the local community, with a focus on reliability and integrity.
Over the years, we’ve evolved to meet the changing needs of our clients, while maintaining the personal service and strong professional standards that have defined us from the start. We’re proud to be a well-established part of Derbyshire’s legal landscape.
Our Approach
We understand that legal matters can feel daunting, especially during times of change or uncertainty. That’s why we focus on delivering clear, practical advice tailored to each client’s situation—no jargon, no confusion, just straightforward support when you need it most.
Every case we take on is handled with care and attention to detail. Whether it’s buying a property, managing a loved one’s estate, or setting up lasting powers of attorney, we take the time to understand your needs and offer solutions that work for you.
Our Team
Our team is made up of experienced solicitors and support staff who are approachable, knowledgeable, and committed to delivering excellent service. Each member brings their own expertise, allowing us to offer well-rounded legal support across our core practice areas.
We believe in building long-term relationships with our clients. Many of the people we assist come back to us for different legal needs over the years - and often recommend us to friends and family, which we consider the highest compliment.
