Welcome
We are a leading private client law firm in the North of England offering a discreet, high quality service in the best tradition of the law.
With a proud history dating back to 1695, we are one of the oldest firms in the country. Indeed we have worked with one client continuously since 1699.
We act primarily for landowners and landed estates, trusts and charities, farmers, family businesses and private individuals. We have a reputation for providing practical, down-to-earth advice backed up by serious technical expertise.
At a time when some firms have become commercial operations more focused on targets, fees and profit, we are proud to have a more old-fashioned approach.
When clients come to us, we see people to be helped and problems to be resolved - not fees to be earned.
The target we set ourselves is a simple one - to produce satisfied clients.
