Wrigley Claydon Solicitors launch FREE Legal Clinic in Saddleworth

We open our free weekly legal clinic in Uppermill, Saddleworth on September 4th. This complimentary service will commence in September, and be available every Wednesday, 9am to 12.30pm at the Conservative Club on the High Street.

The aim of the clinic is to provide initial advice, on a wide range of legal issues, to those within the local community of Oldham and Saddleworth, either by appointment, or as a drop in clinic. It will allow people to raise queries and get help or information on crucial matters. With recent changes and cuts to the legal aid system concerning many people, Wrigley Claydon hopes its clinic will be a source of advice to those who have been affected as well as the wider community generally

Solicitor and Partner at Wrigley Claydon, Rachel Damianou explains the thinking behind the project,

“We want to provide the local community with a service that no other law firm provides. We have a long history in the area, and work hard to ensure our reputation as the area’s oldest, most established and best regarded solicitors is maintained. This means we always look to provide that ‘added extra’ to our services, and feel that going out to meet our potential clients in their community is one way of doing this.”

Rachel adds,

“With the current metro link work causing much disruption to the centre of Oldham, it is proving difficult for many people to get into, and out of the town. We hope our new legal clinic will also help those finding it problematic to travel to our offices in the town centre.”
