Newcastle

Each of our offices across the country are committed to making a positive difference to our communities. In Newcastle, our team works alongside charities such as The People's Kitchen to give back to the local area.

We also take part in the Newcastle Legal Walk annually, which is hosted by the North East Legal Support Trust, to help in raising money to provide free legal advice.

The office for our Newcastle law firm is accessible by train, plane, taxi and car so, if you’re looking to make an appointment to meet with our team, there are plenty of convenient ways to reach us. Simply follow the directions below relating to your method of transport and we’ll look forward to welcoming you to our state-of-the art city centre office.
