Services

The SRA Standards and Regulations 2019 permit freelance solicitors to provide both reserved and non-reserved legal services directly to clients with and without professional indemnity insurance respectively. Please see the SRA Standards and Regulations 2019 by clicking this link SRA Standards and Regulations | Solicitors Regulation Authority for more details for your access to the SRA compensation fund.

I have listed below those reserved legal services that I provided directly to you. I have also listed those reserved legal services provided by me but via an SRA-regulated firm of solicitors. Reserved legal service clients are, therefore, additionally protected by the Professional Indemnity Insurance of the regulated firm.

The following legal services (both reserved and non-reserved save that excluded hereinbelow) are provided by me: -

1. drafting, and advising on, the terms of commercial and business contracts, employment documentation including a contract of employment and staff handbook; and

2. drafting a simple will; and

3. assisting and advising on non-contentious divorce and financial settlement matters including drafting your divorce petition and financial consent order; and

4. administering an oath; and

5. certifying documents and verifying IDs; and

6. drafting statutory declaration and affidavit; and

7. advising on the terms of the guarantee; and

8. drafting loan agreement and simple security documentation including guarantee and legal charge; and

9. assisting and advising on divorce and financial remedies on divorce matters;

10. probate and estate planning;

11. straight forward debt recovery litigation

For the above-listed services, I have adequate and appropriate professional indemnity insurance in place to provide the services and products. My professional indemnity insurance liability limit is £500,000. You may be barred from making claims against the Compensation Fund if there is a problem with your legal matter.

I do not hold client money. Therefore, I do not provide services that involve the holding of client money or checking anti-money laundering regulations, or the following reserved legal services that I will provide via an SRA-regulated firm whom I work as a consultant: -

1. conveyancing services involving selling and buying property;

2. litigation;

3. business and share sale where holding client money is involved; and

4. assisting and advising immigration law matters excluding asylum seeker's applications including asylum seekers’ immigration applications; and

5. children law (both private and public law); and

6. any other contentious or high-risk reserved legal services.
