Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors & Nicholson Portnell Solicitors

As of April 2, 2024, Nicholson Portnell Solicitors became part of Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors, a leading Cumbrian-based law firm working with clients across Northumberland, Cumbria and nationally. Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors has an office in Haltwhistle and five offices across Cumbria at Brampton, Penrith, Cockermouth and two in Carlisle.

The amalgamation with Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors provides many benefits to our firm and our clients. Although Cartmell Shepherd are a larger firm we. share the same values and ethos, as we are both passionate about the welfare of our staff and clients. This was a major factor in bringing our two well-established law firms together.

Combining the firms will offer clients a broader range of legal services and teams specialising in:

  • Agricultural Law
  • Employment Law
  • Dispute Resolution
  • Business Services
  • Private Client
  • Family Law

Nicholson Portnell Solicitors will continue to operate from our iconic building in Hexham town centre and the services we have provided to you in the past will continue to be offered by the amalgamated business. Our work will continue to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The integration of Nicholson Portnell and Cartmell Shepherd will take some time. You will first notice some changes to our website and communications. Rest assured, the way we work with you will remain unchanged day-to-day, as will our commitment and service to you.

If you have any questions about this exciting news and what it will mean for you, please get in touch with us. Our existing business phone numbers and email addresses remain the same.
