Independent, accredited legal advice for the elderly.

We're part of Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE), an independent organisation created to provide legal advice for elderly and vulnerable people.

Founded in 1999, the SFE was the brainchild of a small group of lawyers who recognised that the UK’s ageing population was leading to an increasing number of enquiries from older clients. Today the organisation has more than a 1000 members nationwide.

To qualify for membership of the SFE, lawyers must have demonstrated their specialist knowledge of a wide range of legal issues affecting elderly people. They also need to have worked with a substantial number of clients in this age group.
