Halliwells

Halliwells was a major UK-based commercial law firm that operated primarily in the North of England with offices in Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, and London. While the firm provided a broad range of legal services, it was notably active in the healthcare and life sciences sectors, offering legal counsel on regulatory compliance, intellectual property, and corporate transactions for medical and pharmaceutical clients. The firm faced significant financial difficulties following a controversial property deal and the subsequent economic downturn, leading to its entry into administration in 2010. Its various practice areas and assets were subsequently sold to other legal entities, including Hill Dickinson, Barlow Lyde & Gilbert, and Gateley.
