Law and Order

Blackstone Solicitors is a fast-growing law firm based in Hale Village, with a reputation for achieving results for its clients. The firm was started by Emma Nawaz in 2010, and in the past 13 years has grown to employ a team of highly skilled and experienced solicitors. The firm now represents both local, national, and international clients. Blackstone is known for its tenacity and refusal to be deterred by obstacles.

The firm specialises in commercial litigation and property law for both commercial and residential clients providing a myriad of services. In addition, Blackstone has an established commercial department offering an array of corporate services whilst also providing a full suite of private client services including wills and probate as well as lasting powers of attorney.

The firm employs a varied and knowledgeable team with some wellknown names from within the community. Michelle Rothburn has been a qualified solicitor for 35 years and specialises in all aspects of Commercial Property and Development. She joined Blackstone seven years ago. Michelle splits her working hours between fee-earning and also mentoring and auditing staff whilst also helping the firm grow both its profile and its talent base. It was Blackstone’s reputation that drew Michelle to the firm. “I knew that I could work well alongside Emma. I have great respect for how she has grown the business on her own and how it continues to grow every year.”

Warren Heyman was born and raised in Manchester and has over 20 years experience as a commercial litigator. The law is in Warren’s blood as his father ran in his own successful practice in Leigh for over 30 years. Warren trained in the West End focusing on media based commercial litigation but was soon drawn back to his home city. Upon returning to Manchester, Warren has continued to work throughout his career on high value and technically complicated claims for an array of corporate clients covering all facets of industry including those in sport. He joined Blackstone last year drawn by the firm’s high-profile clients. “I had been aware of Blackstone’s excellent reputation for some time. When the opportunity presented itself last year to join and help grow its already highly respected client base, whilst knowing that I could do all of this only five minutes from home, I jumped at the chance.”

Blackstone’s growing stellar reputation also attracted the esteem of well-established solicitor Maurice Mason. Maurice has been qualified since 1982, opening up his own firm in 1999. Mason & Co in Altrincham was a very successful law firm and in November 2022, Maurice decided to join Blackstone.With a passion and drive for each and every case, the team’s extensive understanding of the law is coupled with a wealth of business experience that stretches across all levels, allowing them to take on cases of every level of complexity and value. This commitment to clients and no-nonsense attitude has led to the firm winning and retaining several high-profile international clients seldom seen outside of a city-based firm.

Ophthalmologist Mr Arun Sachdev, has more than 10 years’ experience in both NHS and private practice.

Rapid access eye ser vice: preser ving your vision is our mission

Optimyze Health is a premier provider of eye care in the Northwest of England. Based in Cheshire and benefitting from the latest imaging technology combined with leading expertise, our patients have access to the full range of ophthalmic services. With NHS waiting times at an all-time high, whatever your eye concerns, we can diagnose at an early stage and deliver the right treatment for you.

Suffering from Macular Degeneration?

Mr Sachdev was the first Clinician in the Northwest to offer state-of-the-art light therapy for dry macular degeneration, which is currently the only approved option for people with this progressive condition. Nearly 15 million people in the UK are living with macular disease and it’s the nation’s biggest cause of sight loss.

The non-invasive light therapy offers patients at early-intermediate stages of the disease the potential to reduce the chances of sight loss in the future. This is particularly relevant in patients with a family history of the condition. Early diagnosis and treatment of the disease are key, so Mr Sachdev uses the latest, most advanced imaging techniques to pick up sight problems at the earliest opportunity. This also enables him to monitor his patients carefully over the course of their treatment, ensuring the best possible outcome.

We offer a fast access clinic, and our treatments include:

• Cataract surgery – a bespoke service giving you the visual outcome you want

•

•

Macular degeneration – early diagnosis, nutritional advice, and treatment

Diabetic eye disease – early pick up and monitoring of this is key in preventing sight loss

•

Dry eyes and inflamed lids (blepharitis) – established and innovative new treatments

Glaucoma – early diagnosis and management
