You’re in the right place.

As of 1st July, Tinsdills Solicitors has been acquired by Talbots Law, one of the fastest growing employee-owned law firms in the country, offering nationwide services delivered with local values.

This strategic union brings together two of the most respected and established legal practices regionally and nationally, creating a formidable force dedicated to providing unparalleled legal services and fostering significant growth in the local area.

Clients can be reassured that the former Tinsdills Solicitors will continue to operate from its existing locations in Hanley, Leek, Newcastle and Sandbach. Clients will continue to be advised by the familiar, trusted faces they have come to rely on, ensuring a seamless transition and uninterrupted service.

Why has Tinsdills joined Talbots Law?

Tinsdills have been a leading light in the Staffordshire legal landscape for a very long time, built on a foundation of market-leading customer service. Talbots, as an employee-owned business, align with those values perfectly and are in a position to offer increased investment in infrastructure and community initiatives, a wider range of services for clients and more progression opportunities internally for staff members. This acquisition is simply a case of two ambitious businesses uniting towards a common goal, for all the right reasons.

What can I expect to see change?

Over the next few weeks and months, you’ll see the offices undergo a bit of a makeover to reflect the colours and brand of Talbots Law. You should also see us at events like the Newport Show, the Nantwich Show and various other community events over the coming months, with faces you recognise stood in front of a name and banner that might still feel a little bit new just to start with.

What does this mean for me?
  • Continuity of Service

    The dedicated professionals you’ve worked with at Tinsdills are now part of the Talbots Law team. Your existing cases and ongoing matters will continue to be handled with the same care, attention, and expertise you expect.

  • Enhanced Resources

    As part of Talbots Law, we now have access to an even wider range of specialist legal talent and resources, allowing us to serve you even more effectively across a broader spectrum of legal needs.

  • Local Presence, Broader Reach

    We remain committed to our local communities, with our offices continuing to operate from their familiar locations in Hanley, Leek, Newcastle Under Lyme and Sandbach. However, as part of Talbots Law, you also benefit from a wider network of offices should you ever need them.

  • A Familiar, Friendly Face

    Our priority is to make this transition as smooth and seamless as possible. You’ll continue to see many of the same friendly faces, and we’re here to answer any questions you may have.

Will I still have the same solicitor?

Yes! The Tinsdills team have joined Talbots and will continue to work on all existing files as normal. This acquisition is simply to provide additional investment and a greater range of services to the Staffordshire community, delivered by the same faces you already know and trust.

Are the Tinsdills Offices still open?

Yes, all four offices in Hanley, Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Sandbach and Leek will continue to operate as normal – just with a new name above the door.

What do I do if I have a question or concerns?

If you are an existing client then please feel free to call your solicitor directly to ask any questions you have about the changes. Otherwise, you’ll see a directory just below this FAQ section with names and numbers you can call with any questions you might have.

Call Our Team

We know change prompts questions, so please rest assured that you can phone the office and ask the team anything you need to. We’ve also created a specific enquiry directory, which you can find below, just to make sure you’re speaking to the right member of the team.

The Next Chapter Of The Tinsdills Story

With roots stretching back nearly 350 years, Tinsdills Solicitors has long been a cornerstone of legal expertise in Staffordshire and Cheshire. Over the centuries, the firm evolved through organic growth and a number of respected mergers, including historic practices such as Hollinshead & Moody in Tunstall, Sproston Slaney & Swann in Newcastle, Challinor & Shaw in Leek, and N A Whieldon & Co in Sandbach. In 1991, these firms united under the name THM Tinsdills, before rebranding as Tinsdills Solicitors in 1999.

Tinsdills built a strong reputation for delivering trusted legal services across generations of clients, operating from offices in Hanley, Leek, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Sandbach. Their commitment to client care, community values, and legal excellence made them one of the region’s most respected law firms.

In 2025, Tinsdills became part of the Talbots Law family. While the name above the door may have changed, our shared values remain the same — and we’re proud to continue the legacy of service, integrity, and expertise that Tinsdills has upheld for centuries.
