Bold new chapter begins for HM3 Legal in South Manchester
HM3 Legal expands North West footprint with strategic Altrincham launch and key team Hire
By Lindsey Kidd - Managing Director
We’re thrilled to share that HM3 Legal has officially landed in Altrincham, further strengthening our presence and growing our legal team across the North West.
Altrincham is a town full of energy, innovation and community spirit which are all qualities that resonate strongly with us at HM3. Our new office is centrally located in the newly refurbished Charter House. It’s the perfect home for our next phase of growth, and we’re excited to now be on the ground in this brilliant part of South Manchester.
Even better?
We’ve launched with a powerhouse litigation team who have joined us from boutique firm Bexley Beaumont. The team, led by Melissa Worth, has a standout track record in supporting SME businesses with high-value and complex commercial disputes, professional negligence and construction litigation. Their arrival strengthens our existing cross-office litigation capabilities and brings even more depth to our existing and well-established full-service dispute resolution offering overseen by Michael Chambers.
“Opening in Altrincham feels like a natural step for us,” says Lindsey Kidd, Managing Director at HM3 Legal. “We’ve built strong reputations in Chester, Wirral and Liverpool and the appetite from clients and talent in South Manchester made it clear it was time to invest. Altrincham is a place that does things differently, and that really speaks to who we are as a business. We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Melissa and the team. They’re a perfect fit culturally and professionally.”
Complex commercial disputes
Michael Chambers, Head of Resolution & Recoveries across all of HM3’s offices, adds:
“This is a significant step for HM3 and one that’s already creating real momentum. It allows us to bring our people-first, commercially sharp approach to a new market while also expanding the strength and reach of our litigation team across all offices. Welcoming Melissa and her team gives us even more capacity to support clients where and when they need us most.”
For Melissa, who joins us as Head of Commercial Litigation, the move is as much about values as it is about geography:
“Altrincham is home for me and it’s brilliant to be growing something here with a firm that shares my values. HM3 is known for being bold, collaborative and genuinely client-focused. The team have made us feel so welcome, and I’m excited to see the positive impact we can have together in the local business community.”

Our new home at Charter House, recently refurbished by Orbit Developments, gives us a modern, collaborative base in the heart of Altrincham town centre. It supports how we work, with flexibility, connection and purpose at its core.
Dean Richards, Leasing Director at Orbit, shared:
“We’re delighted to welcome HM3 Legal to Charter House. It’s fantastic to see a firm with such strong bold ambition, legal expertise and purpose choosing to grow in Altrincham. We look forward to seeing what they achieve from their new base.”
