The story
The company was founded in 1994.
In 2006, the Solicitors Journal named Countrywide as being "one of the country's leading intermediaries". In 2007, the Sunday Times listed Countrywide Legal in 34th place in its list of "Best 100 Companies".
In 1997, Countrywide became the first legal indemnity provider to be endorsed by The Law Society, providing its members with a Defective Title insurance Scheme and other related indemnities on their behalf. This endorsement lasted until 2009, and the endorsement has since passed to a competitor, First Title Insurance.
