Our building was closed on Monday 23rd March 2020, since then our solicitors and support staff have all worked remotely and we have continued to provide a full service to our new and existing clients. We have remained in contact with our clients, staff and suppliers via e mail, telephone, the postal service and video conferencing which we have found to be extremely successful.
We remain committed to reopening our building as soon as it is safe to do so and we have been busy ensuring our offices will be a safe place for our staff and clients.
Please do re-visit this page as we will post updates on a regular basis.
