North Ainley Halliwell
Providing legal services to Oldham and the North West
Whilst we make no apologies for practising in one of the most important provincial towns in the North West with a rich heritage from the cotton industry, we have a City approach to the personal and commercial needs of our clients. We pride ourselves on providing a professional yet personal service with lawyers and support staff of the highest calibre.
We are very much involved with the commercial centres of Manchester and Leeds and have the legal talent to deal with high value transactions at the sharp end. At the same time, we provide sound advice and pragmatic solutions tailored to the individual day to day needs of our clients.
To accommodate the more global elements of personal and business life, we have gathered expertise and experience (along with a network of lawyers and accountants outside the territory) to advise on European legal issues in relation to inheritance tax, off-shore trusts and overseas property.

Our strategy has been to provide a comprehensive legal framework although we would not hesitate to recommend other suitable professionals if the advice required falls outside the areas of our expertise. We would be the first to accept, in today’s complex business environment, that there is no substitute for specialised advice. For that reason, we have developed legal teams in each of our Departments who are highly qualified, experienced and up to speed in their respective fields.
