Oldham Solicitor you can trust

When looking for an Oldham Solicitor you can trust we know you need a firm with a strong reputation and history. At Wrigley Claydon we have solid foundations that allows us to move with the times to help you through the legal process stress free.

We’ve had a continuous presence as Oldham Solicitors since the practice was established in 1795 by Henry Barlow. It was 60 years later when our now namesake Henry Wrigley joined the firm. Today his great great great granddaughter is still a client!

We celebrated our 200 year anniversary in 1995 having expanded our offices into the Todmorden area in 1980. This gives us flexibility to serve all our clients’ legal needs at both offices, at their home or place of business. Our Todmorden team is headed up by Godfrey Pickles, our very experienced Senior Partner.

At Wrigley Claydon we recruit real people who are experts in their field and  care about their work.  Some of our staff  first experienced us during their work placements and we made such an impression they’ve never left.  Our team enjoys what we do and some of us sit on industry panels and boards.

We’ve adapted to changing times and provide a service which recognises that solicitor’s clients demand not only efficiency and to be kept constantly informed but also friendly and approachable treatment.

Wrigley Claydon try to combine all these attributes and, whilst using the very best of modern technology, remember that our clients are sensitive people, like us, often facing the most critical decisions of their private or business life.

With this in mind it is the philosophy of the firm to offer a warm welcome and a sympathetic and understanding service, as well as good advice and efficiency.

We also see it as our task not only to solve your problems but, wherever possible, to prevent them arising in the first place by providing sound and constructive advice on a regular basis, throughout your business or personal life.
