Getting legal help in Manchester

Manchester's legal sector has grown fast over the last twenty years and now rivals Birmingham's in size. The commercial firms are in Spinningfields, several of them national practices with offices in London and Leeds too. Around them is a large personal injury and clinical negligence sector, and a criminal defence bar with a long history. If you're looking for solicitors in Manchester, that means real choice in most areas of law, and specialists who actually specialise rather than generalists claiming to.

Civil, family and appeal hearings for the region are held at the Manchester Civil Justice Centre on Bridge Street, one of the largest court buildings put up in Britain in recent decades. Crown Court cases are split between Crown Square and Minshull Street. The regional Employment Tribunal is in the city centre.

Law centres and specialist housing advice services in Greater Manchester have survived cuts that hit other areas hard. Legal aid for housing and community care is easier to find here than in most of the North West. If local firms aren't taking new clients in your area of law, Liverpool and Leeds are both within an hour, and most firms there will act for you remotely.

Legal aid in Manchester

Firms in Manchester hold Legal Aid Agency contracts in Asylum and human rights, Children and social services, Civil liberties and public bodies, Clinical negligence, Criminal defence, Debt and insolvency, Domestic abuse and protection, Family and relationships, Housing and tenancy, Immigration and visas and Mental health and capacity.
