Expanding Lancashire law firm opens Manchester office

Baker & Coleman, an established Blackburn law firm, has broadened its presence and offering with the opening of a second office in Spinningfields, led by senior solicitors from DWF and Walker Preston.

Baker & Coleman was founded by Saghir Munir, formerly a senior solicitor in the construction and real estate team of DWF in Leeds, and Kamran Ellahi, who has worked for Odeon Cinemas, and Walker Preston.

Baker & Coleman established its Blackburn office in early 2015 and due to client demand has established its second office in Spinningfields, Manchester.  The firm’s Manchester office will focus on delivering commercial services including real estate, construction, disputes, general commercial and insolvency.

With offices in Spinningfields, Manchester and Blackburn the firm is committed to continually expanding its legal services and workforce.

Saghir Munir, partner and head of the commercial department, said: ‘‘Our move is in response to client demand and cements our status as a growing firm.  At Baker & Coleman Solicitors we have a simple commitment to our clients and that is to deliver more value than the price paid.  Everything we do is driven by this commitment.

"A key part of our strategy for 2016 is to broaden our legal service offerings and presence to demonstrate our continued commitment to our clients. The opening of our new office provides us with the perfect base from which to service our local and national clients, putting us in an ideal position to continue providing the very best legal services right across the country.” The firm has chosen 3 Hardman Square in the heart of the city’s legal and financial district as its new home.
