About Us

Pengelly and Rylands was founded by Keith Rylands and the late Richard Pengelly in Tenterden High Street in 1975. Quickly earning a well-deserved reputation as a professional, approachable and efficient law firm with well-established roots, we are here to help with all of your legal requirements.

As of 1st August 2016, the practice of Pengelly & Rylands Solicitors has joined together with the long standing and well established Gravesend law firm, Hatten Wyatt incorporating Morlings Solicitors. Since its establishment in 1844, Hatten Wyatt has gone from strength to strength in the Gravesham area, and its more recent presence throughout Maidstone is testimony to the strength of service and values that the Firm offers. Pengelly & Rylands are thrilled to be able to work alongside Hatten Wyatt, expanding and developing the business offering additional service areas and an increased number of experienced solicitors for its clients.
