Comprehensive range of services

We offer a comprehensive range of private client services through our team of highly experienced solicitors.

Many of our clients who instruct us for their most important and sensitive legal needs are longstanding clients who may initially have instructed us on a business or property matter dating back to the firm’s inception in 1976.

All of our clients trust us implicitly to take care of the things that matter most in their lives.

At some point in our lives we all need private client advice (for example, Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, inheritance tax planning or Probate) so having a firm of solicitors you can rely on for both business and personal legal advice is something our clients tell us they value highly.

Our team also includes a number of highly specialised litigators who are experts in private client related litigation, such as contentious Probate, Trusts and family and business disputes as well as complex multijurisdictional cases.
