Winckworth Sherwood’s ecclesiastical practice is the largest in the UK, advising both the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church. We advise on every kind of issue that churches may face including parish re-organisations, marriage law, appointment of clergy and the highly complex area of land and property. Our experts can assist you on ecclesiastical law, constitutional matters, as well as matters including property, employment and litigation.

With our long experience we also understand the wider context – the unusual framework which makes church matters such a unique challenge for lawyers. That combination of both breadth and depth of experience means that we can deliver a timely, sympathetic and relevant service getting to the heart of the matter effectively and efficiently. With this long history, focused expertise and an acknowledged commitment to our clients, we strive to continue playing a significant part in supporting and encouraging the life of church communities for which we act.
