Ribchester Smith & Law offers businesses a rare blend of highly-qualified, trusted, professional expertise, delivered at a personal level, and based on a fee structure that encourages long-term mutual benefit, rather than short-term gain.

The trusted reputation of our founders spans more than 100 years, from the origins of advising the merchants, tradesmen and professionals of Durham City in the late 19th century, to where we are now, advising the hi-tech, progressive, national and international businesses of the 21st century, throughout the North East, the wider UK, China, USA, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The range and level of skills and experience we offer is very rarely found in independent practices. Our senior advisers can draw on many years spent advising owner-managed businesses on tax planning and advisory matters in Big 4 international practices, in London, the North East and Hong Kong. Many of our advisers hold professional qualifications at the pinnacle of their fields of expertise.

Our client-relationship philosophy is to develop long-standing and highly trusted relationships with you and to become your first point of contact for confidential, professional, practical and common-sense advice and solutions for all of your financial-related business challenges.

We have a number of clients that have been with us for more than 50 years. 

We must be doing something right!
