We are a long established legal practice. We have been advising private clients, businesses, companies, clubs and associations for 100 years, and we have always been in our offices at 150 Friar Street Reading. We are currently eight fully qualified solicitors and offer a wide range of private client and commercial services.

We concentrate on advice concerning people, property and business ownership. Our aim is to preserve your wellbeing and wealth.

We can guide you through the purchase of a home or flat and help you to deal with the estate agents and give advice on financing the purchase. When you have completed the purchase, we can help you to rent the property to tenants if you wish, and to make a will.

We can attend to your purchase or sale of a shop restaurant hotel office farm forest or business premises or simply the business itself anywhere in England. We can help you with the take-over terms, the legal requirements, transfer of employees of the business and the contents and stock, compliance with local authority planning conditions or requirements, licensing and local and national taxes.We can work together with your own business transfer agents and accountants or we can suggest some of our local contacts.

When you have purchased your business or the premises in which to operate, we can advise on the law of contract, employment of staff, patents, copyright, franchising and joint development agreements. We can set up a registered company for you, and advise on the duties and responsibilities of directors. We can provide company secretarial services, the registration of the company's officers and all the statutory documents.

And if sadly you run into some of life's squalls, whether in marriage or with your finances or business we are here to help find and smooth the way forward.

We endeavour to provide a friendly and efficient service at reasonable cost.
