Family Business Lawyers

Having begun as a family firm, it’s small wonder we see family businesses as the lifeblood of local economies.

Cartmell Shepherd’s origins as a family enterprise, with its roots in Cumbria and Northumberland, mean we have a strong understanding of how family businesses operate. Many of which existing clients are family businesses too, be they first generation businesses or larger local companies, with our specialist advice serving businesses in the agricultural, hotel and leisure, and commercial sectors. What’s more, our team of wills, probate and succession lawyers is the largest in Cumbria. So sure, you can’t choose your family, but you can choose which friendly lawyers to advise you on what’s best for succession planning for your business.
