Considered counsel, plainly given
A firm of eleven solicitors advising families and owner-managed businesses since 1986.
Practice areas
Property
Purchases, sales, leases and the boundary disputes that follow.
Family
Separation, children and finances, handled without theatre.
Commercial
Contracts, shareholder agreements and succession.
Wills & probate
Straightforward drafting, and estates administered properly.
Dispute resolution
Settlement first. Court when it is genuinely the better route.
Employment
Advice for employers and for individuals, never both at once.
What the first month looks like
Buying a home
Most purchases take eight to twelve weeks from offer to keys. We tell you which week you are in, every week, without being asked.- Searches ordered the day we are instructed
- A fixed fee, quoted before we start
- One solicitor, named, for the whole matter
Separation
A first meeting of an hour, free and without obligation, to set out the options - mediation, negotiation, or court where it is genuinely the better route.- Children and finances handled together
- Fixed-fee first appointment
- Legal aid position explained honestly
Commercial
Contracts, shareholder agreements and succession, read by someone who will still be here in five years when it matters.- Drafting and review at an agreed rate
- Same-week turnaround on short contracts
- No junior handed the file unsupervised
