Welcome to Pearson Hinchliffe Commercial Law

 When we needed to update our Software Licence Agreement and Sales Contract recently, Pearson Hinchliffe took care of us, completing the work to a very high standard on a tight deadline. We have always trusted Pearson Hinchliffe for employment law advice, and would now also highly recommend them for commercial law.

James Cryne, Managing Director.
Keytime Objective
 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.

Michael Ford, Finance Director.
