Southport lawyers gain
national award for older client care
EXPERTS Southport based law firm have recently been
recognised with a prestigious industry accolade for their outstanding services
in client care.
5 members of Birchall Blackburn Law, which is based on Cambridge Road, were
presented the Older Client Care Practice Award. The award, which is accredited
by Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE), recognises those who can effectively
interpret complex legal guidance in a sensitive and compassionate way and
respect clients' needs and wishes.
Kristina Smith, Eve Austin, Anna Marie Knipe, Cathy MacCracken and Rosemary
Johns have all passed the assessment, gaining recognition for their wealth of
knowledge in Wills, probate, trusts, tax planning and Lasting Powers of
Attorney.
The client care benchmark also demonstrates their skills in advising, supporting
and safeguarding older and vulnerable clients, as well as their families and
carers.
Kristina Smith, partner at Birchall Blackburn Law, said:- "Our solicitors
have a real passion for helping people and their families, and the award singles
out Birchall Blackburn Law for going above and beyond the standard duty of
care."
While it's important for everyone to prepare for the future, legal planning is
particularly vital for those later on in life or vulnerable people such as those
diagnosed with dementia, who need to ensure watertight inheritance plans are in
place, as well as protecting their financial assets, property and investments.
Kristina added:- "The SFE accreditation marks our solicitors as real
specialists in older client law, signaling their ability to easily and
sensitively guide vulnerable clients through the complex legal process."
The award win means Kristina, Anna Marie, Rosemary, Cathy and Eve are now all
full accredited members of Solicitors for the Elderly. |
