About Us
Geoff Ormrod
Geoff obtained his law degree from the University of Kent and after qualifying as a solicitor in 1977 began his practice in the City of London. There he gained experience in heavyweight commercial law and litigation. After a number of years in the city Geoff decided to return home to Lancashire where he has practised in partnership or as an employed solicitor ever since.
With more than 40 years experience there is a very little that Geoff cannot advise upon and, over the years, he has built up a number of clients who rely on him for all their legal needs.
Geoff has a keen interest in sport and information technology. The latter has led to him establishing a sophisticated sole practice in September 2003 which has grown into the current partnership of Ormrods Solicitors & Advocates.
Geoff is happy to accept instructions on any matter and can be contacted directly at the details below.
