Yes, I've seen that - but that doesn't give any actual information as to why they were closed down

[Pugwash]

We use William Bailey in ED Road and have done for years. Hubby updated his will last week (due to death of one of his beneficiaries) and was told that a number of legal firms have closed down (retirement of partners?) and his firm was inundated with work.

The original partners retired and sold the building on and the practice to a new group of solicitors.  The buyers sold on the building and the solicitors moved to other practices.  

It's a real shame as the old practice was v good imo and as with so many things now, dealing with solicitors has become something you do online or on the phone with no long term relationship with any of them. A bit like how general practice has gone.  No relationship, just deal with the task/problem at hand and move on.

Not surprised...when sellingprevious house and buying our present one  Hepburns missed loads of salient points that we needed to ask vendors of our present.  Only found out what these were from the questions asked by peeps, solicotors who were buying our previous house.  Hepburns also charged a gross amount on updating our Wills.
