Muckle LLP

Muckle LLP is a leading commercial law firm, providing specialist legal services to small to medium sized businesses, large corporates, listed companies, as well as public sector and third sector bodies. Our clients are largely based in the North East but also span the UK and overseas. We service them all from our office in Newcastle upon Tyne. We provide business people with first-class expert advice. We combine City-quality advice with the friendly, collegiate feel of the North East.
