Additional services

In addition to its main areas, the practice provides complementary services:

• Independent Legal Advice: one-off guidance from a lawyer, usually connected with a mortgage or other secured lending, when the lender requires that someone affected by the transaction, even if not the primary borrower, understands the implications before signing.
• Certification of Documents: certification of copies of original documents to give them validity for official or legal purposes, with no limit on the number of copies and without needing to hand over the originals.
• Land Registry ID1 forms: completion of Form ID1 to prove the identity of a party in a property transaction when that person does not have legal representation, a procedure the Land Registry requires to be carried out by a limited set of professionals, including solicitors.
• Swearing of Statutory Declarations: signing of declarations setting out facts or circumstances that the person declares to be true, usually to meet a legal requirement where no other evidence exists, and which must be signed before a solicitor, commissioner for oaths, or notary public.

Team and awards

The practice has a team of lawyers and support staff who, according to its presentation, are focused on providing the best possible service to its clients.
