The borough's emerging start-ups, social enterprises, small businesses, and even charities can now feel protected from criminality and unscrupulous competition.
It's all down to a London-based agency of highly qualified lawyers now holding court in Chadderton, Oldham.
Chancery Solicitors are promising to charge prices that everyone can pay as they aim to put dedication over exorbitant fees in order to protect Oldham's economy from dubious litigation claims.
Their opening is also good news for those settling in the UK legally, who are anxious about speculation regarding deportation.
The franchise's third national location was opened by outgoing Oldham Mayor Councillor Eddie Moores who told a packed house of guests at a special ceremony, "I am tremendously proud you have come to Chadderton. I would wish you luck, but given your expertise and track record, I don't think you will need it. Thank you for supporting the people of Oldham."
The new team has varied experience which includes studying and working across England, Scotland and Bangladesh, plus at the Cabinet Office and Office for National Statistics.
Crucially, the firm believe in the ability of putting dedication before profit. Their specialities include conveyancing and settling industrial and domestic disputes. But the issue they face most is concern around immigration law.
"People hear a rumour, press the panic button – and then google the subject" said Mohammed Hussain, President of the Oldham Law Association, "Every case is different but people are looking for the trust and assurance that they can only get from a solicitor with up-to-date knowledge of the law. I look forward to working with Chancery."
Guests were treated to a brief history of how solicitors practice, including how they can now work from anywhere without the need for a shopfront and a town centre location.
Amin Babor Chowdhury who organised the opening ceremony at the Falcon Business Centre, near Chadderton Town Hall, said: "What really impressed me about Chancery was their recognition of what a close community Oldham has, and how what they do will differ greatly from the service they offer in the capital.
"They are also keen to work with others. Every business and local economy that thrives has a competent legal team behind it and I think I speak for everyone in Oldham when I say how pleased we all are to have such accessible competence and expertise in our borough."
