The practice has 200 people and has grown organically to incorporate ten offices stretching across the Northwest; two in Bolton and one in Atherton, Bury, Chester, Farnworth, Horwich, Middleton, Oldham and Todmorden. Although we pride ourselves on being a regional firm, several of our departments service clients throughout England and Wales.
