About Cartmell Shepherd

Cartmell Shepherd is a well-established solicitors' practice with offices across Cumbria and Northumberland, whose Hexham branch operates from Priestpopple House on Priestpopple, NE46 1PL. The Hexham office was formerly the long-standing local firm Nicholson Portnell, which Cartmell Shepherd acquired in spring 2024; it continues to serve clients from Nicholson Portnell's landmark town-centre building while giving them access to the specialist expertise of the wider firm.

From the Hexham office clients can access the firm's full range of legal services, drawing on teams based across its network of offices. These cover residential and commercial conveyancing, wills, trusts, probate and estate administration, family law, and business and commercial matters, combining local, on-the-doorstep advice in Hexham with the depth of a larger regional practice spanning both counties.
