Dootsons LLP Solicitors has been acquired by Ison Harrison, an award-winning, employee-owned law firm. Its three offices in Leigh, Culcheth and Newton-le-Willows are joining the Ison Harrison network, taking our total number of offices to 30 across the North of England.

Dootsons is a long-established and highly regarded local law firm with strong roots in the communities it serves. Its emphasis on local, accessible legal services closely matches Ison Harrison’s own approach.

The acquisition also gives us a substantial presence in the North West as we continue to expand beyond our Yorkshire heartland.

Rest assured, your case is in safe hands.

The acquisition of Dootsons will not disrupt the service or expertise you’ve come to expect. The solicitor managing your case will remain the same, and your ongoing legal matters will continue to be handled with the same level of care and dedication. We are fully committed to ensuring a seamless transition and continuity in your legal representation.

If you have any concerns or would like further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your usual point of contact.
