A little bit of history

He was succeeded by Arthur Slater and Sam Pearson and to this day the Pearson name is integral to the practice. John Pearson is the Senior Partner as was his father and grandfather before him.
Hinchliffe’s was founded in 1982 and following a major period of growth and expansion the firms merged in 1999 to form Pearson Hinchliffe Solicitors.
