Ian Liddle

Partner

Ian is a Joint Managing Partner at Farleys Solicitors and has been part of the firm for over 35 years. During that time, he’s helped shape Farleys into the dynamic, client-focused practice it is today.

Ian originally set up the firm’s Commercial Department and continues to lead on complex business matters, working with everyone from local SMEs to national organisations.

His expertise spans corporate insolvency, commercial property, and business contracts, and he’s known for his practical, straight-talking advice.

Clients value Ian’s ability to cut through complexity and deliver clear, strategic solutions that make a real difference to their businesses. His approachable style and commitment to building strong relationships have earned him a reputation as a trusted adviser. Ian’s reputation for excellence is reflected in consistent recognition by the Legal 500, where he has been described as “brilliant,” “straight-talking,” and “highly recommended for transactional work.” Clients value his ability to see the bigger picture and provide clear, strategic advice that delivers results.

As part of Farleys’ leadership team, Ian is passionate about maintaining the firm’s friendly, down-to-earth culture while driving innovation and growth. Outside of work, he’s a proud supporter of local community initiatives and enjoys spending time with his family, watching sport, and exploring the great outdoors.
