Law firm opens its 14th branch covering the North West

Legal services firm, Russell & Russell Solicitors, is opening a new branch in Westhoughton.

The office, which is located at 112 Market Street, opens on Monday, June 3, servicing clients between Bolton and Wigan.

The firm will offer clients advice and guidance on conveyancing, wills and probate, family matters, personal injury compensation claims, criminal defence services and commercial property law.

“We’ve been looking at opening a branch in the area for some time and when this particular building became available, we jumped at the chance”, said managing partner Judith Bromley.

“Our new location offers clients a convenient way of speaking to someone about a legal issue.

“They won’t need to make an appointment, instead they can call in and speak to someone direct or arrange for one of the team to give them a call when it’s best for them.

“Our philosophy is all about making it easy for clients to access legal advice.”

She added: “In addition to our branch network and our drop-in advice centre on Newport Street in Bolton, which is open on Saturdays, the new Westhoughton office is another way we hope to provide it.”

This latest news follows that of the firm converting to a limited liability partnership (LLP) and an alternative business structure (ABS) in February this year.

The firm currently employs 220 staff and the Westhoughton opening brings the number of branches to 14 across the North West region.
