About ME
I was born in Bolton and educated at Thornleigh Salesian College and the University of Kent at Canterbury. I then spent several years travelling round the world before entering the Law and qualifying as a solicitor in 1982.
In December 1986 I set up the firm with an ethos that one solved the client’s problem first and worried about getting paid second rather than the other way round.
I became the first solicitor in Bolton to achieve the right to appear in the Crown Courts when I was granted Higher Rights in 1995. Since then I have successfully defended clients before juries in Bolton, Manchester and London and in the Court of Appeal in London.
For over 15 years I was Joint Honorary Secretary of Bolton Law Society of which I am a past President. Since 1996 I have represented solicitors in Lancashire and Greater Manchester on the Law Society’s national council.
In 2017 I became president of the Law Society of England and Wales, representing our members at several international conferences, events and ceremonies.
