Law firm Pearson spreads its wings

LAW frim Pearson Solicitors has maintained its turnover above £3m for the third successive year and is opening a new office.

The Greater Manchester company has offices in Oldham, Hollinwood and  the location of the new outlet in the developing St Petersfield area of Asthon-under-Lyne

Pearson says it grew steadily throughout the economic downturn with turnover increasing by 20% since 2009 while the total number of staff has grown to 53.

The new offices on Henry Square will be home to the firm’s clinical negligence team, which will work alongside a personal injury team, conveyancing and family lawyers, private client solicitors and in-house financial advisers.

Joanne Ormston, partner and practice manager at Pearson, said: “We have remained profitable in an increasingly competitive industry, attracted talent from larger city firms and grown across a number of areas, which is crucial for a mixed business practice such as ours.
 
“It’s a huge testament to the hard work of our team, underpinned by a partner-led approach that focuses on understanding matters in the broader context of our clients’ individual business or personal affairs to make the services we offer much more accessible.
 
“We have also worked hard to maintain our tradition and heritage, founded on a history dating back to 1874, but at the same time develop a contemporary image as a firm delivering truly modern, personalised services; our new offices in Ashton will help us to do that.”
