With a wide range of relevant knowledge, skills, and resources, our team of barristers and solicitors share their insights on issues that matter to us and our clients.
Articles cover our principal fields of law; commercial and company litigation, personal and corporate insolvency, civil fraud and public inquiries. You will also find commentary and reflections on notable or high profile legal cases as well as updates on changing legislation to help you and your business stay ahead.
From time to time we will also share what’s important to us from a community point of view, locally in Sevenoaks, Canterbury or the wider county of Kent.
