Services
Residential Conveyancing
Our residential conveyancing service supports clients through property transactions including purchases, sales, re-mortgages, and shared ownership arrangements. We provide dedicated legal representation from initial enquiry to completion, ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements while minimising client stress. Our team handles complex cases involving equity transfers, help-to-buy schemes, and leasehold properties, maintaining clear communication throughout the process.
Personal Injury Claims
We represent clients seeking compensation for accidents occurring in workplaces, public spaces, or road traffic incidents. Our service covers general damages assessment, special damages calculation, and medical treatment coordination. Operating on a no-win-no-fee basis, we prioritise client recovery while managing legal proceedings against insurers, ensuring fair compensation for pain, lost earnings, and future care requirements.
Wills and Probate
Our wills and probate specialists assist with estate planning, inheritance tax mitigation, and trust creation. We guide executors through grant of probate applications, estate administration, and asset distribution processes. The team provides tailored advice on co-ownership agreements, will variations, and dispute resolution while maintaining sensitivity during bereavement periods.
Powers of Attorney
We specialise in creating Lasting Powers of Attorney for property/financial affairs and health/welfare decisions. Our solicitors explain legal implications, register documents with the Office of the Public Guardian, and advise on replacement attorney appointments. We help clients establish legally binding instructions while maintaining decision-making capacity during their lifetime.
Contentious Probate
Our contentious probate team handles will validity challenges, inheritance disputes, and executor removal proceedings. We represent beneficiaries, executors, and third parties in claims regarding financial provision, asset distribution, and professional negligence. Using alternative dispute resolution where possible, we aim to resolve conflicts efficiently while protecting client interests through court proceedings when necessary.
