Private Client Services for Personal Injury and Medical Negligence Awards

Our specialist and approachable team of Court of Protection, Trust and Will solicitors can work with you to help your clients pre and post settlement to put their affairs in order.

Not only can we assist adult clients with capacity, but we can also assist minors and protected parties (via their litigation friend) to put appropriate measures in place.

We offer peace of mind with clear advice and practical solutions. Whether it’s establishing a Trust for the first time, dealing with the Court of Protection or acting as a professional trustee / deputy, our team are here to help with trusted, tailored advice.

We take time to understand your client’s circumstances, needs and wishes. Once we have established how we can help, we will usually be able to give you a fixed fee quote so that there are no unwelcome surprises.

All of our lawyers are STEP qualified (the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) or working towards STEP qualification (if more junior) to ensure that the advice we provide is at the highest standard within the industry. We are one of the largest Private Client teams in the North West, rank Band One in the “Chambers High Net Worth Guide”, feature in the “Legal 500” and appear in the “The Times Top 250 Law Firms” in the UK.
