MWR Solicitors converts to LLP status

Preston law firm, MWR Solicitors, has become the latest firm of solicitors to convert to limited liability partnership (LLP) as it positions itself for future growth.

MWR is a specialist in accident claims, employment law, conveyancing, wills & probate and family, and employs over 40 staff in Cannon Street.

LLP status was introduced in 2000 to provide a modern trading structure for professional firms, such as solicitors and accountants.

Speaking on the change, Altaf Patel, a partner at MWR, said: “The move to LLP status is part of a strategic plan developed by the partners to take us into the new era of legal services.

“It is a progressive move that will give us flexibility to expand as an innovative client-focused law firm.”
