Experience
Graeme has been retained by a number of professional sports people in respect of their Estate Planning matters and ensuring their affairs are structured tax efficiently
Graeme has been instructed by a number of parents applying for Deputyship Orders for their children who are turning 18. These can be complex matters with significant compensation awards and are always very important for the families involved.
Graeme is routinely instructed on high value Estates with BPR and APR elements and complex interactions with HMRC.
I found Graeme Black easy to understand and he explained things clearly to me. Very friendly and he and Stephanie Collins arrived on time at my house. Graeme also explained my lasting powers of attorney clearly to me. I was able to ask questions of anything & was given clear answers to my questions. Nothing was too much trouble for him.
Shirley Review Solicitors
I was delighted with the service I received. Professional advice and guidance were given in a friendly and clear way, and the necessary documentation was of the highest standard. I was very well pleased with everything.
Arnold Review Solicitor
I worked with Kate and her colleague, Graeme, throughout the process of the sale of one of our properties. Both Kate and Graeme worked very hard and diligently from start to finish and were two of the best solicitors I've had the pleasure of dealing with. Both were highly responsive and patient with us as clients, always open to discussion and made the whole process as easy and painless as possible. As a result, we've now chosen to work with them again on the sale/conveyancing of another property.
