ENQUIRE NOW

Within the Local Community

We are proud to have been an integral part of the fabric of the Community in Mid-Ulster for 90 years, providing representation and access to justice for all members of society regardless of class, race, colour or creed.
Our engagement with the local community is however so much more than simply providing legal services.
Our Director, Stephen Atherton, was at the forefront of the successful campaign which opposed the closure of Magherafelt Court.
The overwhelming majority of our staff are recruited locally and have remained loyal to the practice for many years.
We continue to invest in the young people in our area, providing employment opportunities and work experience to students educated in local schools.
Our commitment to youth is further evidenced by our continued sponsorship of Rainey Old Boys Rugby Football Club and O’Donovan Rossa Gaelic Athletic Club.
We are an active supporter of numerous local charities, run campaigns on behalf of McMillan Cancer Relief and have recently raised funds for the magnificent children and staff within Kilronan School in Magherafelt.

Throughout the wider community

We are committed to representing our practice and our community within forums throughout wider civic society.

In addition to our current influence nationally, our practice has been the starting point for esteemed members of the judiciary, in the form of Liam McNally and Peter O’Brien has risen to high office within the Law Society. These individuals continue to be the benchmark and an inspiration to our existing Solicitors.
