Henry Hughes & Hughes was founded in Streatham in 1927. The first two Partners were Henry Hughes and Sidney Rich who had trained together as young men at Rhys Roberts in the City in the 1920s. They practised at different addresses in Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill from 1927 until 1991 when the firm moved to its present offices. They were joined in 1948 by Henry's son, Dennis, the father of two of the present Partners, Mark Hughes and Benedict Hughes. Dennis Hughes retired in 1990. Since the firm was founded over three quarters of a century ago its strengths have been in giving the best legal advice to businesses and families in Streatham, South London and a wider area combined with a personal interest in and sympathy with clients' problems.
