A new ‘bespoke’ legal team set up by Liverpool law firm Morecrofts Solicitors will offer expert legal advice to members of Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.

In a new partnership, chamber members will gain immediate access to a range of Morecrofts legal services, including commercial, property and employment law as they bid to plot their recovery from the pandemic.

It will be operated on a ‘triage’ basis, whereby a dedicated team of Morecrofts lawyers will be on hand to receive enquiries from chamber members and respond to them in accordance with their urgency and complexity through an initial free consultation.

Morecrofts is a strategic partner of Liverpool Chamber. Both are based at Cotton Exchange building in Liverpool’s commercial district.
