We have a long experience in acting for some of
the leading Co-operative Societies in the country and also, historically, for
the Co-operative Union. This has helped us to forge strong working relationships
with many of the key people involved in the retail co-operative movement.
We have for many years specialised in Industrial
and Provident Society law. This specialism developed directly from the Firm's
involvement with the Co-operative Union and retail co-operative societies, and
led also to the Firm being heavily involved in the rapid growth of housing
co-operatives and housing associations which are of course all registered as
industrial and provident societies. The Firm is now recognised (Chambers
Directory) as one of the leading Firms in the North of England specialising in
the law relating to social housing.
We have substantial knowledge and expertise in all
aspects of Co-operative Law.
