The team helps people at many different stages of life, from first-time home buyers and couples starting a family to retired people, entrepreneurs and owners of small and medium-sized businesses, in many cases acting for second and even third generations. We are also regularly instructed by larger accountancy firms and IFAs to assist in connection with trusts, wills and probate matters.
At this year’s prestigious Gloucestershire Business Awards our firm was one of three finalists in the corporate social responsibility category. We were shortlisted for our responsible and sustainable practices and community involvement in the region.

You may get involved in departmental marketing initiatives which may include writing newsletters, attending networking events and preparing and delivering workshops/seminars.
You will have a professional manner, be highly efficient and approachable, demonstrate a ‘can do’ attitude and enjoy acting for a wide range of individuals, particularly the elderly.
