About Us

mosshaselhurst was established in Northwich in 1906 and is one of the most respected legal practices in Cheshire. Over 100 years on, we now have 3 offices with over 30 staff and we continue to grow.

We believe that Solicitors should continually aim for excellence and should offer clients a personal but professional working relationship at competitive rates. We have loyal and hardworking staff whose dedication and work ethic ensure clients receive the service they deserve.

We live by our mission statement 'Exceeding Expectations’ which reflects our reputation for service and excellence. Our aim is to offer an efficient, high quality service with friendly and experienced staff.

We hold the Investors in People Award and the Law Society’s Lexcel quality mark, showing our commitment to high quality service and practice management.

Conveyancing Services

Conveyancing involves the transfer of land & property to a buyer from a seller.

Here at mosshaselhurst we are also members of the

Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS). We have been shortlisted for the CQS Award for Excellence in Conveyancing Practice. To demonstrate this excellence we promise to:

 Clearly explain the steps involved in the process of buying/selling and what you can expect from your Solicitor

 Keep you well informed about our costs and any other payments that need to be made (Land Registry fees, Stamp Duty, etc).

 Keep you well informed about the progress of your sale/purchase. We can provide quotes over the telephone (confirmed in writing) and you can expect a cost effective service. We can usually match or beat any other quotation you receive and you have the comfort of knowing we have been buying and selling properties in the area on behalf of clients for over 100 years.

Wills & Probate

If you die without a Will you will have no control over what then happens to your worldly possessions. Here at mosshaselhurst we can provide you with a Will that meets your every wish and ensures that, when you die, your possessions go where you want them to go.

We can also help if you are worried about losing mental capacity and want to ensure that a relative or friend can act on you behalf. The person chosen to manage someone’s affairs in this way is called an Attorney, and is appointed in a Lasting Power of Attorney document.

We can help you prepare this document before it is needed. Later in life should the need to activate the document arise we can then also assist you in registering it.

When you do pass away you will no doubt want to ensure that the process of dealing with your estate is as quick and easy as possible for your loved ones.

Our probate department will ensure the wishes you express in your Will are carried out. We will also deal with any tax affairs and collect, value, sell & distribute assets to beneficiaries as appropriate.

We can also advise and assist you if a relative dies without leaving a Will, and explain what will happen to their estate under the laws of intestacy.

“This is the first time I have used your services. I was most impressed. Janet couldn't have been more helpful; particularly in the very early days after mum's death" “This updated will for both

Divorce & Family

We understand that when relationships break down it can be a very difficult time, so our aim is to provide sympathetic advice tailored to your specific circumstances and requirements.

If you want to apply for a divorce we can complete all the necessary paperwork for you and guide you through the Court process. We can also help you with considering the options available to you regarding your finance, property & children.

We understand that these areas can often give rise to dispute. Wherever possible we aim to deal with disputes through negotiation before taking the matter to court.

Two of our Solicitors are members of Resolution and one a member of the Law Society’s Family Law Panel. Resolution is an association of Solicitors who follow a particular code of conduct when dealing with family matters which is heavily focused on encouraging parties to negotiate & resolve their differences in a non-confrontational way.

However, if negotiation fails and issues do need to be resolved in court we will represent you and guide you through the process.

Most family matters can be dealt with on a fixed fee basis. Please contact us for more information.

“I would like to say a big thank you for all your help at the beginning of the divorce, helping me go through the legal minefield of the financial side of it, filling in all the

forms, doing all the calculations and generally

Accident & Injury

We can help you quickly and efficiently to claim compensation after you, have suffered serious injury in an accident.

You may have had an accident on the road and your Insurance Company says they will refer you to one of their panel solicitors. You do not have to go with them. You will often find they are located in another part of the country, you may find that you can never speak to the same person twice, or they put pressure on you to settle your claim at an early stage so that they can be paid quickly.

Here at mosshaselhurst none of this happens; you can sit down and discuss your claim with a member of our team, face to face and not over the phone. We will keep you regularly updated as we process your claim and we will only recommend a settlement when we are certain that this is the right result for you and only then after we have discussed this with you in detail.

We can also usually help you on a no win no fee basis and will be happy to discuss this with you at our first meeting.

Employment

Working for someone with whom you have disputes can be a very complex matter. mosshaselhurst can help in all aspects of employment law that affects employees. We will work on your behalf to strongly protect your interests. It is a legal requirement to have a contract of employment if you work for someone. This contract covers the basic terms and conditions of employment and both yours and your employer’s rights and responsibilities. We can help you by providing an unbiased opinion on your contract of employment before you sign it or by drawing up the contracts for your staff if you are an employer. Employer/employee disputes are not uncommon. There are many things that can cause problems including unfair dismissal, discrimination, harassment, bullying and contract disagreements.

Dispute Resolution

Disputes with neighbours, friends, family and even business partners are usually difficult to resolve and can be difficult to face up to. Disputes with companies or other individuals that have provided you with a service can be equally as unpleasant to deal with.

Here at mosshaselhurst we can help you to work through these difficult disputes. We will advise you on how to resolve them to a conclusion that best protects your interests but is also cost effective and equitable.

We try to resolve all disputes with constructive discussion and negotiation as this will almost always work out easier than taking the matter to Court.

However, in the event that this doesn’t work out and the only solution is going to Court then we will represent you and advise you throughout.

Business & Commercial

At mosshaselhurst we recognise that the efficient handling of a commercial property transaction can save a business time and money. With this in mind, we are committed to providing a quality, value for money service.

Please contact our Commercial Property Department for further details of how mosshaselhurst can assist your business - we will be happy to arrange a FREE half hour introductory meeting under the Lawyers for your Business scheme if appropriate.

Occasionally your particular matter might benefit from the attention of Solicitors with particular specialist knowledge and expertise. We have long established links with other firms who have additional resources and after a full discussion with you we would be happy to refer you to one of them. We can also help your business with:
