On the 21st September, the Jackson Lees Group unveiled their new identity at the Everyman Theatre.

The Jackson Lees Group was formed in May 2016 after Jackson Canter acquired Wirral-based law firm, Lees Solicitors. Lees joined Jackson Canter and Broudie Jackson Canter, with the three forming the Jackson Lees Group. All have a long and well-respected history, with Lees Solicitors being founded in 1889, and Broudie Jackson Canter representing 20 families at the historic Hillsborough inquest.

Pete Weatherby QC, who helped lead the team representing 22 of the bereaved Hillsborough families at the inquest, was a guest speaker at the launch night. Pete said:

“I was pleased to say a few words highlighting the fantastic work the firm has done in supporting the families, and in particular, the efforts of members of the firm in pro bono work concerning Hillsborough."

Brian Cullen, Chief Executive Officer at the Jackson Lees Group, added:

“Thank you to everyone who joined us on Thursday night for our brand launch event at the Everyman. We were delighted to see so many friends of the Jackson Lees Group enjoy a special evening as we embark upon an exciting future for our firm.”

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the launch. A special thank you to Pete Weatherby QC for giving us a fantastic insight into the Hillsborough Law Authority Bill. Lastly, thank you to the Everyman Theatre for hosting us.
