MoreAbout Us
Pearson Hinchliffe Solicitors is one of the leading law firms in the North West of England.
We help our clients to achieve their business and commercial objectives by providing powerful and practical commercial advice. Our aim is to ensure our legal services are proactive and well-managed and always delivered cost effectively.
The firm of Pearson Hinchliffe Solicitors can proudly trace its roots back to the 1870s.
In November 2007 the ‘Pearson Hinchliffe Commercial Law’ brand was established — a landmark in the development of a very well-regarded and successful commercial team. Creating this new brand and moving our 18-strong commercial team to the suitably enterprising surrounding of the Hollinwood Business Centre, gave us a unique position. It made us the first Manchester law firm to focus our commercial practice on the North Manchester regeneration area.
The move to Hollinwood, situated between Manchester city centre and Oldham, signalled our commitment to support not only our clients and the wider business community but also the burgeoning economic development being brought about by massive investment into the area.
“It puts us in an excellent position to grow with our client base and develop new client relationships. Moving to spacious offices at Hollinwood gives our clients easier access to our services as we are closer to transport and communications links and plentiful free parking.” Michael Pitt, Partner
