How it started

History

The firm was established in 1950 in Rye Lane, Peckham, as "Lewis Silkin and Partners" by John Silkin, son of Lewis Silkin. Lewis joined the practice full-time in the 1950s after leaving the House of Commons and relinquishing some parliamentary duties he had undertaken on first becoming a peer. Lewis Silkin opened an office in Westminster in addition to the existing office in Peckham. The Westminster office specialised in planning law and development permits.
