The range of legal services available at Woodcocks Haworth and Nuttall is comprehensive.

If you’re a business, we have a dedicated employment law team that can help prevent and deal with people issues should they arise. Protection is a key theme for our business law team which helps clients on a variety of matters including corporate structures, terms and conditions, contracts and legal policies.

Our corporate team advises clients on buying and selling businesses while we also advise on commercial property transactions. When things don’t go to plan our commercial property disputes and business disputes teams are on hand to help.

Our solicitors who advise individuals and families provide an expert and sympathetic approach. Our expertise ranges from buying and selling a house and financial advice to complex and sensitive matters involving family law, civil disputes, employment problems, asset planning, landlord tenant and housing, personal injury, medical negligence.

We are pleased to be recognised in independent legal directories, Legal 500 and Chambers, as one of the leading law firms in the region and are also particularly pleased to have been singled out as the best professional services firm in Lancashire at the Red Rose Awards.

What one top tip would you give to a business owner embarking on a growth plan?
When a business has more than one shareholder, it is critically important that you have a Shareholders Agreement recording all the terms you have agreed and what happens if you fall out. We often see many good businesses being held back by a shareholder dispute which could have been resolved with a robust agreement in place at the outset.

Why is Lancashire a great place to grow a business?
Lancashire is one of the best places to do business in the country. We have a world-class manufacturing base, a talented and diverse work-force and a great work ethic.

Why are you backing Boost?
WHN Solicitors – like many businesses across the county – are hungry to grow so it’s great to see funded support to help those businesses drive the recovery. It’s also good to see the public and private sectors working closer together.
