AFG Law has opened a new office in the town’s Market Street.

Resident partner Greg French, who specialises in property law, wills and probate leads a team of five people including Emma Cordock who is a family law solicitor.

The full service high street law firm was originally established 116 years ago in Bolton, and has undertaken the recent expansion to Bury to capitalise on their success and to create new opportunities in a new community.

Mr French said: “We already do a lot of work in Bury, and given the close geographical proximity and the relationship the two towns enjoy, expansion into Bury seemed a logical step.

“We’re excited about expanding into Bury. This is an excellent opportunity for AFG Law to create new links within a vibrant town. We were impressed with the prospects we saw in Bury and we believe that the Market Street location gives us a good high street presence and an office that will support further growth in Bury.”

AFG Law’s combined offices in Bury and Bolton boasts seven partners and 30 staff. They have helped clients with a variety of legal needs including house sales and purchases, accident claims, care proceedings, criminal law, employment law, and family law.

They are LEXCEL accredited by the Law Society which denotes they have achieved the required standard of excellence in client care, case management and risk management. They are also part of the coveted Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme.

Mr French continued: “We are excited about the opportunity to take our traditional values and modern approach to Bury. We are also working with local Bury students to design a mural for our entrance hallway in the Market Street office.

“Not only does it tell a better story than a purely commercial design, but we believe it demonstrates our commitment to engage with the town - both through the subject matter of the design and our collaborative approach.”
