About Us

Always approachable, helpful and professional

Thomson Hayton Winkley have been helping people and businesses in Cumbria and beyond for more than a century and a half.  And because more and more people have trusted us to deliver the right solutions time and again, we have continued to grow.

Today with one of the largest practices in the South Lakes region, we are able to offer a comprehensive range of legal services for individuals and their families, and for businesses  – from large commercial enterprises to small rural, farming and family businesses, with tourism and hospitality being a particular specialty.

Our award winning Rural Law Practice branch office is based at the J36 Rural Auction Centre – in the heart of the rural community, with fantastic connections to Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire.

With a consistently high level of great client feedback, repeat business and personal and professional recommendations, we deliver the kind of service that our clients have come to expect from us and which has helped us remain their trusted Solicitors and advisors.
