Pearson Solicitors return to Saddleworth

  • Posted on

Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers are proud to return to their roots in Saddleworth with the opening of a new multi-service law firm.

Legal services in Uppermill

Located on the High Street in Uppermill, the new office places Pearson Solicitors right in the centre of a blossoming business community. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and picturesque surroundings, Uppermill has been gaining a reputation as a great place to live and work for a few years now.

The office will serve as a base for up to 25 staff, offering both personal and commercial legal services. Family law, Property and Conveyancing and Private client services, will all be available, as will a wide range of Commercial and Employment Law solicitors.  Pearson are also planning to recruit more local team members.

“There’s been a real buzz about our newly redeveloped building,” said Richard Eastwood, Director at Pearson Solicitors. “Uppermill’s strong sense of community makes it the perfect place to be and we’re excited to be part of the community once again.”

The history of Pearson Solicitors in Saddleworth

The Uppermill opening marks a return to Saddleworth for Pearson Solicitors, who previously had an office in the area during the 1980s and ’90s. In redeveloping the site, Pearson worked with local builders to preserve the character of the structure, respecting the area's conservation status.

Over the past two years, the once-neglected building has been sympathetically restored, cleaned, and landscaped. A key addition for the convenience of clients is the inclusion of private parking, an important feature in a village setting.

“During the renovation, we remained sensitive to the area's heritage and focused on providing a high-quality space for both staff and clients,” added Joanne Ormston, Director and Practice Manager.

“Uppermill is a true village community, and many of our clients are part of that. We wanted the space to reflect the warmth and friendliness of the area and many people have been popping in to congratulate us on enhancing the village centre and doing such a great job.”

The Uppermill office includes state-of-the-art meeting facilities and will host community-focused events throughout the year. It is Pearson’s fifth location, joining offices in Oldham, North Manchester, Milnrow, and Failsworth. With nationally recognised lawyers and award-winning solicitors, Pearson Solicitors is set to offer the same high standards Saddleworth residents have come to expect, now even closer to home.
