Last week, Kelly and Carrie headed to London for Footprint Digital’s AI & The Future of Professional Services Marketing session at Clifford Chance.

From how AI is changing marketing and client engagement to the opportunities and risks that come with adoption, the session explored some of the questions that professional services firms will be thinking about for years to come.

They came back with plenty to think about and a few ideas we’re looking forward to putting into practice.

Divorce can be a difficult process to navigate, particularly when there's already a lot to deal with personally.

Understanding your circumstances, listening to your concerns and having someone you can rely on for clear advice all matter when you're going through a stressful time.

πŸ’š We’re pleased to receive this five-star review for Amber, recognising the way she supported her client through their divorce.

🏠 Buying a property with someone else doesn't always mean you're contributing equally.

Maybe one of you is putting down a larger deposit, a parent is helping with the purchase, or you're buying with a friend.

A Declaration of Trust can record what everyone has agreed about their financial contributions and ownership of the property, giving everyone clarity from the outset.

Here's a straightforward explanation of what a Declaration of Trust is and when you might need one.

If you're buying a property with someone else, our Property team can advise you on how your respective interests could be recorded.

Did you know? Being left out of a Will doesn't always mean you have no claim.

If you were financially dependent on someone who has died, the law may allow you to make a claim against their estate, even if you haven't been provided for in their Will.

Whether you're a spouse, partner, child or dependant, it's important to understand your rights.

If you're worried about your position following the death of a loved one, Vicky Hosking and our Private Client team can help.

The countdown to Ipswich Book Festival is on! πŸ“š

Last week, Kirsten Hubert and Kelly Hosking joined the team of volunteers for an evening of preparation ahead of this year’s festival, which takes place from 2–4 October.

As a sponsor of the festival, Smith & Co is delighted to be even more involved this year, with Kirsten and Kelly volunteering at Old Custom House throughout the weekend.

We're particularly looking forward to welcoming the fantastic line-up of authors and being part of an event that brings so much to Ipswich's cultural calendar.

A big thank you to the organisers for all the work that goes into bringing the festival together – we can't wait to see it all come to life.

🏠 Buying or selling a home comes with enough to think about – keeping track of your conveyancing shouldn't be one of them.

That's why we're pleased to introduce a new way for our Residential Property clients to stay informed throughout their transaction.

πŸ“² Designed to make the conveyancing process simpler, faster and more transparent, the My Legal Journey app brings everything together in one secure place. Clients can check progress, receive updates when action is needed, complete tasks online and send messages to our team at any time.

It's another step in our commitment to combining excellent client care with technology that makes the legal process easier to navigate.

When you start a new residential property matter with Smith & Co, we'll let you know how to access the app as part of the onboarding process.

If you're looking for a smoother conveyancing experience, get in touch with the Smith & Co team on 01473 226231 or get a quote on our website smithandcosolicitors.co.uk

πŸ“ Agreeing how to divide your finances is an important part of divorce, but it's equally important to make sure that agreement is legally binding.

A Financial Consent Order sets out what has been agreed and, where appropriate, can provide a clean break from future financial claims.

Swipe for a straightforward explanation of what a Financial Consent Order is, what it can cover and why putting one in place matters.

If you're going through divorce and need advice about your financial arrangements, we can talk you through the next steps.

For landlords, dealing with a tenancy that has reached the point where possession is needed can be a difficult and often sensitive process.

There are circumstances where a landlord may be able to seek possession, including where:

βœ… The tenant has at least three months' rent arrears
βœ… The property is to be sold
βœ… The landlord or a family member plans to move into the property

The legal process needs to be followed carefully, including serving the correct notice and meeting the relevant requirements.

Keith Holland and Kitty Paul can advise landlords on the steps involved and help ensure the process is handled correctly from the outset.

If you need advice about a tenancy or are considering serving a Section 8 notice, please get in touch with our team.
