Welcome to InBrief Autumn 2017

Welcome to our latest newsletter, an opportunity to catch up with what we have been doing over the summer months and also some of the legal news that may be of interest to you, your family and your business.

This month we will be at the ever-popular Weald of Kent Ploughing Match on Saturday 16 September 2017, at Gatehouse Farm, Marden, TN12 9SG. We look forward to welcoming you to our stand throughout the day for refreshments and the opportunity to chat in person.

September is a month that sees much change as summer turns to autumn, children head back to school or off to university and people’s attention may turn to creating new opportunities for themselves. This edition we focus on a number of areas where we support new and existing businesses, so look out for articles on licensing and news of our recent entrepreneurs’ seminar.

We support many long-established businesses and take a look in detail at the world of buying and selling a business on pages 8 and 9

Earlier in the summer we were involved with the retirement celebrations of a great colleague Peter Stringer, whom I have personally worked with for a number of years. Read all about him on page 3.

Finally, I am very pleased to announce that I have personally won a Kent Law Society Outstanding Achievement award and have also been shortlisted for a national Law Society Excellence Award. I will find out in a few weeks whether I have been successful but it is certainly a great honour to be recognised both locally and nationally for my work and you can read more about this on page 11.

I hope you enjoy our latest news and please get in touch if there are any areas you would like to discuss with us.
