A little bit of history…
We can trace our roots back to 1874 when Charles Clegg founded the original practice. He was succeeded by Arthur Slater and Sam Pearson and to this day the name Pearson is integral to the practice. The firm merged in 1999 to form Pearson Hinchliffe and in 2013 following the granting of ABS status became Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers.
Alternative Business Status (ABS) creates the opportunity for extended professional services, non-legal partners and alternative investment and will allow us to grow and evolve in the changing legal landscape.
The Practice has three offices. Our Oldham base is offers our ‘Services to You’. We are based in Albion House, 31 Queen Street, Oldham. Dating back to 1878 Albion House started life as a ‘Gentlemen’s Club’ and since then has been used as offices, a restaurant and night-club. We have tried to sympathetically restore the remaining bits of its Georgian heritage, whilst at the same time provide an up-to-date modern practice. Our ‘Services For Business’ and the Commercial team are based in a modern mill redevelopment in North Manchester, close to the M60 network, providing easy access and free parking for all clients. Whilst our Failsworth office is at the heart of the conservation area close to Failsworth Pole.
We are proud of our heritage and traditions and look forward to the future and further development with over a decade of Lexcel accreditation, (the Law Society industry standard) leading us forward.
