SHERWOOD ROAD, SINCE 1976<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Older than most of the shops around it.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Halloway & Finch has practised law from the same address on Sherwood Road for forty-eight years, through three different signs above the door and a good number of the shops either side changing hands more than once. Eleven people work there now, two of them partners, and the firm has never chased the big-city work that would mean growing much bigger.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The reasoning is straightforward. A house purchase, a will or a separation is rarely the client’s first legal matter and it is usually not their last either, and a firm that stays put and stays known is easier to come back to than one that has moved on or been bought out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
