For individuals and families
Tell us what happened. We stay with your family through it
Family, a home, a job, a promise somebody broke. You do not need to know what to call it in law. Tell us what happened and who it involves, and we take it from there.
- Who it involves
- The people in it, and how they are connected to you.
- What happened
- In your own words, in a few plain sentences.
- What you need
- What you are hoping to protect, settle, understand or stop.
When life changes
A hard story gets calmer once someone takes it in hand
When you are in the middle of it, everything feels equally urgent and nothing is in order. We take the story off you and lay it out, so you never have to retell it under pressure again.
- How it was
- The relationship, the job or the agreement before any of this started.
- What happened
- What was done, said, paid or refused, with the dates attached.
- What is pressing
- The decision or the date now bearing down on you.
Family and inheritance
We keep the family side and the legal side from tangling
It arrives at the worst possible time and it carries the whole family with it. We handle the law and the paperwork so you can handle the rest, and we do it without turning people against each other.
- The family
- Who is involved, and who can tell us what happened first hand.
- What exists
- Whatever official papers, property or earlier arrangements you know of.
- The question
- The one thing you need answered now: who inherits, who holds what, what happens next.
Property
Before anything moves, we make sure it is safe to move
Property is the biggest thing most people ever sign for, and the papers are written to be skimmed. Before your money moves we check who really owns it and what you are actually agreeing to.
- What you are doing
- Buying, selling, renting, renewing, paying, or answering a disagreement.
- What we check
- Whether the person selling can sell, and what the ownership papers really say.
- What you get
- A plain answer on whether to go ahead, and what to fix first if not.
Work and agreements
We look at what was promised and at what actually happened
What was written down and what actually happened are rarely the same. We put the two side by side and tell you where you stand before you answer anybody.
- On paper
- The contract, the rules, the notice or the message you were sent.
- In practice
- What was actually done, paid, said or changed after it was signed.
- Right now
- Whether you are signing, leaving, answering, or trying not to lose a right.
What must be decided
We answer today without losing sight of what comes after
Under pressure everything feels equally urgent, and it almost never is. We separate the one question that has to be answered today from everything that can wait.
- Today
- The single thing that has to be decided now.
- At risk
- Any date or deadline that could close off your options.
- After that
- What becomes possible once the first question is settled.
Preparation
A few lines are enough. We will ask for the rest
A few plain sentences are enough to start. Send only what you are comfortable sending; if we need more, we will ask and tell you how to send it safely.
- In a few lines
- What happened, and what you need to decide.
- Any dates
- Anything coming up that you think might matter.
- Who is involved
- The people or companies in it, and what each has to do with you.
- What exists
- The papers or messages you know of. Do not attach them yet.
Private enquiry
Start with the thing that is keeping you awake
A short outline, who is involved, and any date coming up. That is enough for us to tell you whether we can help.
- Your question
- The one thing you most need answered before you do anything.
- What you have
- The papers and messages you know exist.
- Your dates
- Anything approaching, and why you think it matters.
