Solicitors in Liverpool

Bell Lamb & Joynson was first established in 1821, making us one of the oldest law firms in Liverpool, with over 200 years of knowledge and experience within the industry. We dedicate time and effort to helping the people of Liverpool and the North West with an array of legal matters.

Travelling to our Liverpool Office

We understand the difficulties of having to find a car park space or bus stop in the surrounding areas of our Liverpool-based office, especially if it’s your first time visiting us.

Car

Our opening hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you’re travelling to our Liverpool office by car, we recommend making use of the free car park nearby. Located at Walton Hall Park, the nearest free car park is a 31-minute walk or 22-minute bus journey away from our office.

Public Transport to Our Liverpool Office

We’re lucky enough to be located just a stone’s throw away from the Orrell Park Station bus stops (A, B, C, D, and E) on Walton Vale. If you’re travelling via public transport, you can get to us by using bus numbers 20, 21, 61, 61A, 62, 135, 214, 300, 310, 345, 721, 741, and 835.

If you’re travelling to us by train, you’ll be glad to know that our office is only a 4-minute walk away from Orrell Park railway station (northern line to Ormskirk). For individuals travelling on the northern line to Kirkby, Rice Lane railway station is just a 9-minute walk away. Orrell Park station is wheelchair accessible; however, Rice Lane station is not.

Accessibility

Here at Bell Lamb & Joynson, we are committed to making sure our clients are as comfortable as possible when visiting our Liverpool office. We aim to provide as much information as possible about easy accessibility in the area for those in wheelchairs or travelling with prams.

Not only do we welcome people from all walks of life, but we are also dedicated to providing the best service possible to individuals regardless of personal circumstances. If you have particular needs or requirements, we want you to know that we’re here to help and support you.

Our Liverpool office has disabled access, making it easier for wheelchair users to access our building. One of our nearest train stations, Orrell Park, is both wheelchair and pram-friendly, with lifts and free access to both platforms.

You’ll be able to access blue badge parking close by at Bootle Strand Shopping Centre, which is roughly a 35-minute walk away unless you take the number 61 bus; this can take anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes depending on traffic.

Using Advanced Technology to Deal with Our Liverpool Clients

Although we enjoy welcoming our clients into our Liverpool office, we understand that it can be challenging to travel to us from your location. Our friendly team is more than happy to discuss alternative meeting arrangements and ways of communicating.

Video link software such as Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp, and Microsoft Teams can all be considered when looking for ways to communicate with clients. We use the latest technology to ensure we can meet your needs at all times.

Our Bell Lamb & Joynson mobile app is perfect for case tracking, document sharing, instant messaging, and collaboration. We provide instant online conveyancing quotes, clear online pricing information regarding fees, electronic signing for legal documents, online file sharing, and a secure payment system for clients to utilise.
