History
Cobbetts was originally founded in Manchester during the first half of the nineteenth century as Cobbett, Wheeler and Cobbett by the sons of William Cobbett, the journalist and polemicist. It became Cobbett Leak Almond after the acquisition of Leak Almond and Parkinson in 1987.[4] The firm shortened its name to simply 'Cobbetts' in 1996.
Further mergers with Read Hind Stewart of Leeds[5] and Lee Crowder of Birmingham[6] followed in 2002 and 2004 respectively. The London office was opened in 2004[7] to service corporate clients acquired through niche Manchester firm Fox Brooks Marshall [8] in 2003.
