Who we are
About Us
With Cartmell Shepherd You Come First
It’s not about us, it’s about you. You see, we view the individuals and businesses we work with not just as clients, but as people and partners – a perspective we strengthen by coming together with your team. We’re also a forward-looking firm, encouraging and reviewing feedback from you, as well as looking for fresh methods and technology to help us deliver our legal services in new and better ways, from 24-hour telephone enquiry lines to our very own mobile app. These commitments form part of our ‘always at your side’ promise: to offer you knowledgeable advice throughout life’s journey, whenever you feel the need.
Highly Qualified, Community-minded
Having the best people in place is critical for us too, so we invest in our staff to ensure that they’re trained to the upmost level. Our experts are regularly cited in professional directories like the Legal 500 and Chambers Guide to the UK Legal Profession – universally recognised signs of our expertise – so you can be confident that we’ll guide you ably on all aspects of the law.
We also hold a firm belief in community, raising funds for local charities each year, as well as mentoring and supporting many different local organisations and projects.
