Services
Conveyancing
Our conveyancing service specialises in residential and commercial property transactions, including transfers into Asset Protection Trusts. We handle all aspects from contract exchange to completion, ensuring compliance with HM Land Registry requirements. Clients benefit from our expertise in minimising tax implications and streamlining complex transactions.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
We draft and register both Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare LPAs. Our solicitors ensure your wishes are accurately documented while maintaining legal validity. This service prevents costly Court of Protection interventions, providing peace of mind for future care and financial decisions.
Asset Protection Trusts
Our trust creation service safeguards assets against inheritance tax and third-party claims. We advise on trustee appointments, draft binding trust deeds, and manage HMRC registration. This service ensures smooth intergenerational property transfers while maintaining settlor control through discretionary beneficiary arrangements.
Family Law
We handle divorce proceedings, child custody arrangements, and financial settlements with sensitivity. Our accredited specialists provide clear guidance on rights and obligations, prioritising client interests while minimising emotional distress through negotiated settlements where possible.
Commercial Law
Our commercial law service covers business sales, lease agreements, and corporate restructuring. We provide tailored advice on contract law, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution, supporting businesses from formation through to complex transactions while protecting client interests.
