Whether buying or selling a home abroad, getting our finances in order or planning future care provision – at some stages in our lives, most of us will require legal advice.
However, boasting the largest private client team in Peterborough – Buckles Solicitors provide a one-stop shop for a wide range of life-changing and impacting situations – all under one roof.
Specialising in French and Spanish law, court of protection, Wills and probate and care home fee planning, the legal team is believed to be the largest of its kind in the region – and also provides services to clients using its Stamford and Nottingham offices.
Heading up the recently expanded team is Buckles partner Duncan Jackson. He said: “When you look at the population of Peterborough, and the many situations and scenarios affecting people in their everyday lives – almost all of these will need some kind of legal intervention or advice.
“These can range from making a Will or arranging a power of attorney to tax or financial planning and protecting your assets.
“At Buckles, not only can we provide all of these services within one professional team, but in a friendly and helpful manner – and one which we hope a client will remember.
“People remember emotions – particularly when they are faced with making important decisions in their lives – rather than the specific facts or company branding.
“Treating every client as an individual and making them feel as comfortable as possible with the decisions they make, is at the heart of what we do.”
One of the many ways Buckles is able to demonstrate this is by its involvement with the Forest of Peterborough initiative, a campaign run by Peterborough Environment City Trust.
The initiative was launched in 2010 to plant over 180,000 trees in and around the city by 2030.
Buckles Solicitors has pledged to plant a tree for every estate they administer for a bereaved family, and signed up to the campaign last year in a bid to help improve the local environment – but also to provide clients with a lasting memory of their loved ones.
Earlier this year 200 trees were planted at a ceremony at Willow Drove, Newborough when staff from the Peterborough and Stamford branches braved the wet and windy weather.
