Oldham law firm strengthens care department

Oldham law firm Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers has expanded its care department with the appointment of a new head of child care and a paralegal.

Both appointments bring a wealth of experience and a continued commitment to children and families in the area.

New Head of Child Care, Rachel Early joins Pearson Solicitors with over 30 years of experience in child care law.

She has a proven track record of handling complex child protection cases and has represented both local authorities and families.

Also joining the team is paralegal Charlotte Wilson.

Rachel represents children, parents and relatives in the most complex child care cases which involve physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, drug and alcohol misuse, and neglect.

Her deep knowledge of key legislation, such as the Children Act 1989 and her ability to effectively communicate with clients, makes her a force in care proceedings.

Welcoming them to the team, Director and Practice Manager Joanne Ormston said: “Rachel’s compassionate approach and dedication to ensuring that the voices of children and vulnerable individuals are heard and respected makes her a valuable addition to our team.

“She is committed to building trust and rapport with clients, guiding them through the often challenging legal processes with empathy and professionalism.

"As head of child care, she will steer our team and provide guidance and mentorship to our new paralegal Charlotte, who we also welcome to the firm.

“Working alongside established Child Care Solicitor, Rebecca Wolfenden and paralegal Nicole Brown, the growing team have not only extensive legal expertise, but these appointments further strengthen our commitment to providing exceptional legal services in care law.”

Rachel added: “I am pleased to have joined such a well-established firm with a long history of undertaking family work and providing excellent representation to parents and relatives in care proceedings.”

Charlotte said: “I am delighted to have joined the team at Pearsons.

"I am eager to contribute to the company’s success and excited about the opportunities for professional growth and development here.

"The value of Pearsons aligns perfectly with my career aspirations, and I look forward to having a meaningful contribution to the shared goals of the firm.”
