Best year yet for Pearson

Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers has celebrated it best financial year to date

Oldham law firm, Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers, celebrated it best financial year to date and is looking to capitalise on its success, expand into bigger premises and take on new staff.

The firm, with offices in Oldham, Ashton and Hollinwood, has increased turnover for the fifth successive year to an all time high of over £4.1million, and has seen new staff being appointed as growth continues.

The commercial team continue to be big hitters in the North-West, with growth in company commercial of over 33%, commercial litigation growth reaching over 27% and property growth across both commercial and residential of over 21%, offering a real alternative for business clients who wish to work with firms outside the city centre.

The firm’s income is up 17% on last year and the financial advisers who work alongside the legal teams have boosted their own growth by 14%.

Private client work, family, personal injury and clinical negligence - also up by 24% - all continue to form part of the multi-service law firm.

Recent recruitment in the family and litigation teams have helped bolster the business and the well-respected clinical negligence team now has a nationwide client base. 

Investments in IT and a growing online presence have all contributed to making 2018 a bumper year for the firm.

Managing Partner Joanne Ormston said: "It has been an exceptionally busy year with continued growth across most areas of the business.

“We have a solid base of business locally, our reputation precedes us, but increasingly our commercial team are becoming a solid alternative to the Manchester firms.

"We are ready for new challenges, to expand our teams and offices and continue this upward trend. These excellent results are a platform on which we can grow.

“Our strength lies in our excellent staff and the service we provide combining our friendly professional approach, innovation and investment in the future.  

"I firmly believe that the many recommendations and repeat business we get is evidence of this and our continued growth trajectory means it’s an exciting time for us."
