Welcome to the Autumn 2018 Edition of Viewpoint

Following the longest, hottest summer in the UK since times when flares were in fashion and Orla Kiely™ wallpaper was considered standard pattern, I for one, welcome the current season change to that of autumn’s mists and mellow fruitfulness of the maturing sun.

As the Brexit negotiations struggle on beyond Dover, in matters much closer to home, our Private Client team continues apace to broaden in strength and depth.

We welcome this autumn:

• Genevieve Gallagher, Associate in our Watford office, who joins our Estates, Tax planning and Trusts team
• Carly Weyman, Associate who works alongside Partner Lucy Barr, in our Birmingham office’s Family team

We also welcome back to our Contentious Probate team:

• Associate, Vicky Ward after a five year career break, who is based in our Bristol office

We are excited about the plans for our London office’s move to a new location, which our London clients will no doubt wish to follow the latest developments on and I will keep you updated on these.

In this edition, we include an article on LPAs, which we promised would follow on from our last edition. There is also a Q&A with our Bristol and London solicitors in our Residential Conveyancing team. There will be Q&A’s for our Birmingham and Watford readers in future editions.

I hope you find our articles interesting reading.
