Services
One of Lancashire's oldest established firms, we have been providing legal services to the people and businesses of Lancashire and beyond since 1792. The firm was established by the Shaw family and three generations later, partner Richard Shaw became Burnley's first MP in 1868.
Originally Southern, Jobling and Ashworth, the firm has evolved and prospered through many changes, merging with Cooper, Smith and Williams Solicitors in 1994 to form Southern Cooper and Partners and later with Currie and Sons of Burnley, followed by Nelson and Colne based Whittle and Whittaker Solicitors in 1999 to form Southerns Solicitors.

Southerns Solicitors Limited ("we" or "us") conduct business on the basis of these terms which the client ("you") will be believed to have accepted if instructions are later given to us. These terms of business will normally be read in conjunction with a separate client care (engagement) letter setting out the work to be done, the person or personnel handling the matter and the basis of charging.
We have a specialist team here at Southerns Solicitors and we understand that discussing the physical or sexual abuse you suffered to a complete stranger is extremely difficult. Our expert team will do everything we can to make sure that you feel safe and comfortable with your solicitor and we would never ask you to go into detail regarding the abuse until you are ready to do so.
Our specialist team will be able to offer you practical advice and an objective opinion in relation to your claim or dispute and we will always consider whether the issue can be resolved without the need for litigation, for example by Mediation or Alternative Dispute Resolution, which are processes and techniques that act as a means for disagreeing parties to come to an agreement, without the need for court proceedings or a hearing in front of a Judge.
Our specialist team are highly experienced in providing advice and assistance in relation to potential claims against the Police and other Public Authorities (such as; the Prison Service, Local Authorities and Social Services). We are proud to be one of a limited number of law firms in England and Wales to hold the Legal Services Commission Specialist Quality Mark in this area.
