Woodcocks Haworth and Nuttall targeting new hires
NORTH West law firm Woodcocks Haworth and Nuttall says it is looking to strengthen in a number of departments including commercial and dispute resolution a year after its merger.
Long-standing Greater Manchester firm, Woodcocks combined with East Lancashire solicitors, Haworth and Nuttall , in late 2012, to create the practice, which has 100 staff and £5m turnover.
Woodcocks Haworth and Nuttall has seven offices across the region in Accrington, Bacup, Bury, Blackburn, Haslingden, Great Harwood and Rawtenstall.
Providing a local and value-for-money service is its point of difference at a time of change in the sector.
Senior partner David McCann said: “The opportunity has always been about creating a firm that can offer greater reach and range of services to existing clients of both firms. We have achieved this while attracting new clients.”
“Make no mistake, the legal sector is in for some major changes and many traditional firms will struggle. However, the demand for high quality, value for money legal advice has never been higher and this is a space we believe we can excel in.
“Given our location and expertise we also feel we can provide a suitable alternative to larger, more expensive city centre firms. In the next 12 months we hope to expand our residential conveyancing, corporate commercial and dispute resolution departments which will bring about a number of new job opportunities”
Woodcocks was founded in 1791 while Haworth and Nuttall first opened its doors in 1877.
