Silverman Livermore

Silverman Livermore Solicitors was established in 1938 when Harry Livermore joined Sydney Silverman as a Partner at his office at 153 Dale Street, Liverpool. Born in Liverpool, the son of an impoverished draper, Sydney Silverman studied at Liverpool University and proved to be a talented Solicitor. He developed a reputation in Liverpool as a Solicitor who was willing to defend the interests of the poor and he pursued many successful workmen’s compensation claims and Landlord and Tenant disputes. Sydney Silverman was to become a Labour MP and a tireless campaigner against nuclear weapons and the death penalty. In 1948 he managed to persuade the House of Commons to agree to a 5-year suspension of executions. However, this clause in the Criminal Justice Bill was defeated in the House of Lords and as a result Sydney Silverman founded the Campaign for the Abolition of the Death Penalty and his tireless campaigning helped to ensure the eventual abolition of the death penalty.
