Liverpool law firm Morecrofts has doubled the size of its office space in Prescot town centre, taking an extra 650 sq ft.

Now the practice occupies a total of 1,300 sq ft at the premises in Warrington Road. It first opened a Prescot office in 2018, adding to its bases in Crosby, Woolton, Allerton ad Wirral to add to its Liverpool city centre headquarters.

This latest expansion follows a growth in client work across a range of departments, notably private client, matrimonial and conveyancing. The firm aims to recruit up to six new members of staff at the expanded site following the completion of a £20,000 refurbishment.

David Parr, finance partner at Morecrofts Solicitors, said: “These are really exciting times for Prescot, with the impending opening of the Shakespeare North Playhouse and a variety of new independent businesses coming to the fore in the town.

“Our team is embedded in the local community and we enjoy the relationships we have been able to develop with fellow local businesses and clients alike.

“We have also had tremendous support from a range of organisations including Knowsley Chamber, so it was a natural move for us to expand our presence here and continue to invest in Prescot.”
