The firm of Riders was founded in 1761 and in 1789 moved to offices at 8 New Square, Lincolns Inn. It acted mainly for the aristocracy and landed gentry. Sir William Hamilton, husband of Lord Nelson's beloved Emma, took his legal affairs to Riders in company with many other naval and army officers. In 1838 John Galsworthy, father of the author of the Forsyte Saga, founded the firm of Rooks from offices at 9 New Square. The firm established a tradition of handling the legal affairs of a mainly business clientele.
