WHN acquires Rosthorns Solicitors

Woodcocks Haworth and Nuttall Solicitors has acquired Accrington-based Rosthorns Solicitors.

David Rosthorn founded the company in 1986 and has since built up a client base of individuals and families across the region. He specialises in conveyancing, wills and probate.

The practice will move into WHN Solicitors' Accrington office on Cannon Street and David will join the firm's conveyancing team as a solicitor.

He said: "I believe that my clients will benefit from having access to a wider range of legal services through WHN, while still being able to benefit from my many years of experience."

WHN Solicitors has offices in Accrington, Bacup, Blackburn, Bury, Clitheroe, Great Harwood, Haslingden and Rawtenstall. WHN Solicitors employs 100 staff and provides an extensive range of legal services to individuals, families and businesses across all its offices.

Michael Shroot, CEO of WHN Solicitors, said: "David has a fantastic reputation in the local area and we're delighted to have him on the team.

"Having set up Rosthorns 34 years ago and developed it into a highly reputable firm, it is clear David is a true professional and has a passion for client care and adding value to his clients. These values are aligned to ours which made the decision to join forces an easy one."
