Update:
Due to the pandemic we are offering free confidential advice over the phone instead of holding face-to-face clinics.
Please phone the relevant office for a telephone appointment with one of our experts.
Saddleworth: 0161 624 6811
Todmorden: 01706 815 712
The aim of the clinic is to provide initial advice 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, we hope our clinic will be a source of advice to those who have been affected.
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 does. 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,
“Following the recent major road and transport network changes in Oldham town centre, we have found many clients prefer a more local service rather than coming into town and being unfamiliar with the new town centre layout, bus routes and parking facilities.”

Looking for Parking? The nearest car park is the Museum car park on the High Street where you have 3 hours free parking. The Conservative Club is approximately 3 minutes walk from the museum.
The free appointments with professional and experienced lawyers provide people with the opportunity to seek advice about any legal matter (excluding criminal).
The aim of this complimentary service is to provide initial advice, on a wide range of legal issues, to those within the local community of Todmorden.
Emma Piszkalo, Partner explains the thinking behind the free clinic,
“With the wide scale cuts to the legal aid system occurring earlier this year we are concerned many people within our local community are not seeking the advice they desperately need. We hope that our free service will allow people to raise queries and get help or information on crucial matters.”
Emma comments,
“We are proud to provide the local community with a service that no other solicitor in Todmorden or surrounding area provides.”
Come along and let us help you with your matter. Should you wish to take things further we can offer home visits, but for an initial consultation and to discuss your legal issue simply book an appointment or pop in.
If you are looking for free legal advice, we offer a free half hour meeting for each client between 9.30pm and 3.30pm every Wednesday. The last appointment you can book is at 3.30pm.
