Lasting a bit longer than some of those listed law firms!
A law firm is celebrating a remarkable anniversary this year – marking 300 years since it began trading.
Furley Page can trace its roots back to 1725 when James Hanson established a law practice in Canterbury at premises in Burgate.

It moved, in 1830, to offices in St Margaret’s Street, where Furley Page’s head office remains to this day. It also has offices in Whitstable and Chatham.
Evolving over the years through mergers and partnerships, it acquired the name it trades under today in the early part of the 20th century.
To celebrate the 300-year milestone, the firm has planned a full calendar of events including charitable activities, sponsorships and sports competitions, kicking off with support for the Canterbury 10-mile race which took place last weekend.
Susan Jennings, partner and head of corporate at Furley Page, chairs a working group which has organised the celebrations.
She said: “We are extremely proud of our firm’s heritage and to reach 300 years is a momentous anniversary for any business. In keeping with our values, we are keen to celebrate this special year with our staff, clients and the community that the firm has served for so long.”
