Old firms merge to give new service standards

On 1st December, 2005 the long established firms, Farnworth & Watson and Shaw, Mottershead & Badgery, merged to form the new firm, Farnworth Shaw, which has now entered its second year as a merged operation.

The combined, five-partner firm now boasts three offices, two in Colne and one in Nelson and a total complement of 30.

The Civil Litigation Department now boasts six fee earners, the Matrimonial Department three fee earners and Non-Contentious Department four.

All-in-all the Firm believes it is now well placed to offer a full range of specialised legal services to all clients of both Farnworth & Watson and Shaw, Mottershead & Badgery and now runs a state of the art case management computer system linked between all offices to help the firm combine the traditional high quality service standards and the most up-to-date methods.
