We
realise that it is desirable to specialise within particular
areas and the clerk will be happy to advise solicitors of
individual specialisations. Members of the department endeavour
to offer accurate analysis of the law coupled with practical
advice. We have excellent library facilities, both paper and
electronic.
The geographical spread of our practice is not limited to
the North West of England, but extends throughout Northern
