We are a flexible, highly motivated and experienced team of lawyers and support staff who welcome the opportunity to work for other organisations.  We particularly enjoy resolving "old chestnuts" speedily and effectively.  

Most work can be done "at a distance" so geographical location is no problem.  With court and inquiry appearances we can either agree local agency representation or arrange to cover these appearances ourselves, depending on travelling time involved.

We can work on a long-term basis, provide a cost-effective alternative to cover a vacant post or extended sickness and maternity absence, or simply take one or two files from you as the need arises.

Your standard forms and contracts can be used or we can set up standards for you, or prepare specific appropriate documentation.  We will take instructions from your Legal Department or directly from the services departments and will provide a monthly report on all work undertaken.

Our charges are competitive and negotiated individually, either on an hourly rate or unit cost basis.  Where your legal fees or costs are being paid, we can collect that payment as our charge.

There is currently a capacity to accept new instructions.  If you would like to discuss your needs in more detail, please telephone Geoff Wild on (01622) 694302 or email legal.services@kent.gov.uk
