From our foundation in 1988, we have been committed to pursuing equality before the law for all clients regardless of race, creed, physical ability, gender or sexual preferences. We fight to combat disadvantage and discrimination wherever we encounter it. Our staff include speakers of Urdu & Punjabi. We believe in dealing with clients in a fair, open and straightforward way, guiding you through what can often feel like a maze of rules and regulations so that you always have a clear understanding of your options. Our professional reputation has grown strong because of the way our high calibre professionals deal with our clients.
We believe word of mouth is the best form of advertisement. We don't waste our money on expensive ad campaigns, but we are constantly in demand because we serve our clients well. Our practices in Northenden and Longsight have always been community based and we have forged strong links with the communities which we serve.
The firm also has a strong presence in the the lesbian and gay community both locally and nationally. Otten Penna played an active part in the key 1994 case that established the rights of lesbian couples in relation to joint residence orders for their children. We have a steady stream of lesbian and gay clients who travel considerable distances to seek our advice.
