Rothera Bray Solicitors Commemorate 200 Years with a Vision for the Future

Nottingham-based law firm Rothera Bray Solicitors is celebrating its remarkable 200-year history with the release of a short film as part of its bicentennial campaign.

The firm, established in 1824, reflects on its legacy while unveiling ambitious plans for 2025.

A Legal Legacy
Founded on Fletcher Gate, Rothera Bray has been a cornerstone of Nottingham’s legal landscape for two centuries. Closely tied to the Rothera family since the 1850s – known for their service as City of Nottingham coroners – the firm has since expanded its presence into Derby and Leicestershire, strong in its commitment to the East Midlands.

Documenting Two Centuries of Change
The film - researched and produced by the team, with help from Nottingham Local Studies Library and historian Andy Nicholson - captures the evolution of legal practice. From quills and candlelight to typewriters and today’s digital tools, it showcases how Rothera Bray has embraced progress while maintaining its core values.

Looking Ahead: 200 Deeds That Make a Difference
As part of their 2025 plans, Rothera Bray has announced an ambitious initiative, 200 Deeds That Make a Difference, aimed at creating meaningful community impact. Key focus areas include:

  • Reducing Homelessness and Poverty
  • Sustainability
  • Social Mobility

In addition, they seek to enhance their workplace culture through equality, diversity, health, and wellbeing policies for employees.

A Message from the CEO

Christina Yardley, CEO and narrator of the film, expressed her pride in leading the firm during this milestone year:

“Celebrating 200 years of Rothera Bray is both an honour and a responsibility. As we reflect on generations of dedicated solicitors and support teams, we’re inspired to carry their legacy forward. Our 200 Deeds That Make a Difference campaign reaffirms our commitment to being a force for good – in our community, for our clients, and within our workplace.”
