Introducing legacydisputes.co.uk, a specialist legal service for the charity and not-for-profit sector.
Legacy disputes.co.uk is a specialist website that has been developed by award-winning law firm, Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP. We recently celebrated our centenary and are proud to feature in both The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners directories. We are also Lexcel accredited by the Law Society for excellence in client care.
Partner, Naomi Ireson, leads a team of eight lawyers who work exclusively in the field of contentious probate law, offering charities and not-for-profit and community-based organisations a new approach to legacy disputes.
Our team is hugely experienced in dealing with inheritance disputes of all kinds and has a number of reported decisions under their belt. The team also includes Jessica Ross, a consultant solicitor who sits on the Executive Committee of the Charity Law Association.
With our focus set firmly upon resolving disputes cost-effectively, No Win, No Fee funding is a key aspect of our approach. While No Win, No Fee funding has been a popular option for individual claimants for many years, few solicitors offer it to charities involved in a legacy dispute. However, we believe that No Win, No Fee funding has an important role to play in the charity sector, especially when trustees wish to ensure that their economic stewardship of the organisation is beyond criticism.
Funding a legacy dispute on a No Win, No Fee basis enables charities to balance the need to protect legacy income, while at the same time limiting their exposure to legal costs. The charity is assured that if a favourable outcome is not achieved then it will not be left facing a bill for the legal work carried out on its behalf.
By retaining specialist lawyers on this basis, trustees and those involved in governance are fully able to satisfy their fiduciary duties.
We offer a free consultation service and will be happy to consider any legacy dispute for No Win, No Fee funding. Simply give us a call on 0333 888 0439 or send us an email [email protected].
