Solicitors in Lancaster
Like many towns and cities Lancaster can trace its history back to the Domesday Book, where it was referred to as Loncastre, but it didn’t receive city status until 1937. Lancaster is dominated by its castle which dates back to the 13th century. In slightly more recent times Lancaster become synonymous with the Pendle Witches, who were hanged in the town for witchcraft in 1612.
The city of Lancaster was for a time a major port due to its access via the River Lune. This was, however, short lived. Today the city is mostly service orientated. Over recent years the city has also received an economic boost as some high technology companies have invested in the area.
As Lancaster is not a large city the level of legal support you can expect is limited. Solicitors in Lancaster will offer general services to the public and small businesses. These can include drawing up contracts, dealing with debt recovery and commercial property leases.
In addition, solicitors in Lancaster can aid with:
- family law
- personal injury
- employment law
- conveyancing
And as Lancaster does have county, Crown and magistrates’ courts, you can expect a level of criminal and civil law support to be available in the city.
Lancaster has three main courts. The first is the county court which deals with civil matters including divorce petitions, adoption applications and bankruptcy. There is also a Crown Court, and a magistrates’ court which deals with all criminal cases. Lancaster also has a Probate Sub-Registry.
