Welcome to Pearson Hinchliffe Commercial Law

 Pearson Hinchliffe Commercial Law has worked with the NSPCC on a number of employment related matters with very satisfactory results. I am extremely pleased with the service that has been provided by their dedicated employment team; they have successfully advised and supported us in several high net worth employment tribunals. On account of their assured and professional approach, together with the end product, I have no hesitation in recommending partner Michael Pitt and his team to any organisation experiencing similar challenges.

Phil Horrobin, Employee Relations Adviser
NSPCC
 I have used city lawyers in the past and feel that the service I received from the litigation team at Pearson Hinchliffe Commercial Law was extremely professional, on a par if not better than those firms, but more cost effective for my company. I would not hesitate in recommending them to other companies and individuals.

Stephen Evason, Managing Director
Contract Services (R & R) Limited
 The Group has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Pearson Hinchliffe. The foundation of which is underpinned by the consistent high level of quality professional advice that is rendered through a timely and cost effective process.
