About Our Firm
For over four decades, we've helped individuals and businesses navigate their most important legal matters with confidence.
Founded on a simple belief
Aldridge & Pryce was founded in 1983 by Catherine Aldridge and James Pryce — two solicitors who shared a conviction that exceptional legal advice shouldn't be reserved for those who could afford City firm fees.
From a modest office in central Manchester, they built a practice that combines deep specialist expertise with a genuinely personal service. Forty years on, that founding belief remains at the heart of everything we do.
Today we are a team of twelve — four partners, three associates, and five support professionals — serving private clients and businesses across Greater Manchester and beyond.
“Exceptional legal advice demands more than technical knowledge. It requires understanding — of your situation, your objectives, and the human context behind every instruction.”
What sets us apart
A named solicitor on every matter
You won't be passed between departments or left dealing with a different person each time you call. Your solicitor knows your case, understands your concerns, and is accountable for the outcome.
Transparent, fair pricing
We offer fixed fees wherever possible and always provide a clear estimate before we begin work. There are no hidden charges, no surprises.
Advice you can understand
Legal jargon doesn't help anyone. We explain your options in plain English, give you our honest assessment of your position, and help you make informed decisions.
