Why Every Business Needs a Trusted Legal Partner, with Pauline Wilde (Forbes Solicitors)

In this episode of It’s Your Business, I’m joined by Pauline Wilde, Managing Partner at Forbes Solicitors, a full-service law firm with deep Lancashire roots and a national reach.Pauline shares the story of Forbes, from its origins as a traditional high street practice to a modern, specialist firm spanning personal, commercial, and public sector legal services, with offices beyond Lancashire including Manchester, Leeds, and London. We talk about why legal support is not just for crisis moments, but a smart part of planning and growth for both individuals and businesses, from buying a home and writing a will to structuring a company, bringing in key people, and navigating complex change.Pauline also explains the purpose of the Forbes Foundation, created to support disadvantaged families through practical help beyond legal advice, and why giving back matters to the culture of the firm. Finally, we discuss why Forbes proudly sponsors the Large Business Award at the Ribble Valley Business Awards, and what Pauline learns from reading the entries and seeing how businesses are evolving in a fast-changing climate.For more information contact www.forbessolicitors.co.ukWant to start YOUR own Podcast? Your Fairy Podmother®️www.fairypodmother.co.uk
