About Us

Arthur Whiting started his firm in the 1930’s in a room at the back of his mother’s sweet shop in Marple. Roy Mason joined the Partnership in the 1950’s. There followed a number of mergers and demergers. The firm now trades as Whiting & Mason in Marple and New Mills and incorporates the firms of Alan J Fidler & Co Solicitors, WM Furness & Son Solicitors and Furness Evans Solicitors.

During the course of a matter, if there is any aspect which you are concerned or require clarification, then please raise it with the person with conduct of the matter with a view to the concern being resolved quickly. If you remain concerned or we cannot agree an appropriate course of action, then the matter will be referred to the firm’s client care manager, who will contact you, and attempt to resolve the matter to your satisfaction.

The firm has a Complaints Procedure document, which is available on request, and which will be sent to you should you make a complaint. If you remain dissatisfied at the end of our complaints process, you will then be at liberty to contact the Legal Ombudsman.

The Legal Ombudsman is the statutory body to whom you may refer your complaint to, once we have concluded our professional obligation to try to resolve it.
