Farnfields – there when you need us
Choosing the right solicitor is so important when it comes to dealing with your legal affairs. For some, visiting a solicitor can be quite daunting but the reality is that most lawyers have gone into the profession because they want to help. At Farnfields, we pride ourselves on being a well-established local family law firm, with generations of families using the legal expertise of the firm in many areas which include:

Wills and probate
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Succession planning for the whole family
Helping clients to “look after their family silver”
Buying and selling property
Divorce and Separation
Living together agreements
Mediation and collaboration
Business law including franchising and commercial contracts
Agricultural and equine law

November also marks the start of Will Aid – the scheme encourages people to make a will and donate to charity at the same time. So, during November people will have the opportunity to meet with participating Solicitors to make a will with 100% of the Solicitor’s Fee being donated to the Will Aid charities http://www.willaid.org.uk/will-aid-charities.

Susan Lacey, Senior Partner at Farnfields Solicitors said, “We are really pleased to be supporting this great cause. We all know how important it is to make a Will to ensure that wishes are carried out and this scheme will hopefully encourage people to come forward to make a Will whilst supporting such great charities. The scheme provides that a donation is made to Will Aid and our services are provided free of charge.” Since it pledged its support to Will Aid 4 years ago, Farnfields Solicitors has raised over £4,000 a year.But, it is not just about the law, Farnfields prides itself on its commitment to the local community and invests time and money to support a number of local community groups including:

North Dorset Rugby Club (main sponsor)
TLW Dance in Shaftesbury
Shaftesbury Youth Cricket Team
Cinema evenings at The Exchange in Sturminster Newton
Main sponsors for celebrating 1,000 years of milling in Sturminster Newton

The firm is also committed to employing local people whenever possible including offering opportunities for pupils from local schools to carry out their work experience with Farnfields, to offering apprenticeship and legal assistant roles which can lead into training contracts. As one client said,” I received great advice and service from Farnfields. I knew nothing of the procedures and they talked me through everything. Making it plain and simple. I felt at ease and everything was done quickly and efficiently. I also liked the fact they were easy to contact and the service felt so personal.”
Farnfields has offices in Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Sturminster Newton and Warminster and opens every Saturday morning at Shaftesbury and on Saturday mornings once a month in Warminster and Sturminster Newton.
