We are pleased to announce that Jennifer Humphreys has recently qualified as a notary public after completing a two-year course with the University of Cambridge. Notaries are members of the oldest legal profession in England and even today they are appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Unlike solicitors and barristers, notaries are recognised internationally. They are most often required where a document is executed in the UK for use abroad. While Jennifer continues to practice as a solicitor, her qualification as a notary will allow her to provide an even higher level of service for clients with assets overseas.

Probate, Wills and Trusts Department moves to Ancient House Mews.

Jennifer Humphreys has been accepted as a member of the national association “Solicitors for the Elderly” (SFE). SFE is an association of lawyers who specialise in legal services for older people and their carers. Jennifer’s membership of SFE will provide clients with the assurance that the firm has wide-ranging expertise in providing legal services for older people.

The Partners are delighted to announce that a new Partner, Colin Clark, will be joining our London office with effect from 12 January 2009. Colin’s work is mainly commercial property, and a large part of his practice involves acting on behalf of Irish individuals, companies and banks investing in property in the UK. We all look forward to welcoming Colin to the team.

Denise Church becomes a consultant at the firm. Denise continues to work closely with Jennifer Humphreys and the rest of the Probate, Wills and Trusts Department.

The Partners throw a party for their clients at The Galley Restaurant in Woodbridge, thanking them for their loyalty and support over the years. The Partners also announce the move of the Probate, Wills and Trusts Department from their current offices in New Street, Woodbridge to the newly refurbished premises in Ancient House Mews, Woodbridge. This move is scheduled for early December 2008.

We are pleased to announce that Susan Bates gave birth to her son Jed on 14th October 2008. Susan is currently on maternity leave and The Partners and staff wish Susan and her family health and happiness for the future.

The firm launches ‘exchange-ready’ HIPS. The firm is proud to offer this new service exclusively to our existing clients and to those who wish to sell their property and to instruct us to carry out their conveyancing. Linda Baker is appointed as the firm’s HIPS Administrator.
