Disrepair, possession and deposit disputes. A good deal of this is a strongly worded letter that works within a fortnight.

Separation, children arrangements and finances. We will tell you when mediation is the cheaper and better route.

Fixed fee for a straightforward will, hourly only where an estate genuinely warrants it.

Calculations, details and site inspections for anything from a removed chimney breast to a four-storey frame.

Drainage, levels and highways. The unglamorous work that decides whether planning goes through first time.

Awards, schedules of condition, and acting for either side. We will say plainly when a surveyor is not needed at all.

Four weeks, thirty candidates, six that survive a trademark search. You will hate most of them and that is normal.

A mark, a typeface, a palette and the rules for using them. Delivered as files you own outright, not a licence.
