As Solicitors we regard our primary function as acting as a family friend to whom our clients can turn for advice or help - a Legal Adviser.

There are two main types of legal work: Contentious, which means Court work of one sort or another and Non-Contentious where there is no dispute but legal documents need to be prepared, procedures followed and advice given. Examples of Contentious work are divorce and marriage problems, accident claims, breach of contract, unfair dismissal and redundancy.

Examples of non-contentious are the purchase and sale of houses and businesses (and indeed flats, shops, warehouses and land generally), tenancy agreements and contracts of employment, change of name deeds, administration of deceased persons' estates, wills, trusts and settlements.

Some clients with limited means will be eligible for public funding and this is a service we have always been pleased to provide. The Government, through the Legal Services Commission, has sought to restrict the number of firms who can provide public funding by granting a franchise to those who undergo strict quality controls on an ongoing basis. Bemrose and Ling were awarded a franchise by the Legal Services Commission in February 1999 to undertake family work under this scheme.

Bemrose & Ling are authorised and regulated by the Solcitors Regulation Authority Number 00046895 and follow a code of conduct which can be found at www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/code-of-conduct.page
