Harrowells Limited

On Friday night a group from Harrowells Limited attended the annual Yorkshire Law Society dinner, which was once again held in the grandeur of the Merchant Adventurers' Hall. This year, in addition to our main table comprising Harrowells’ hosts and professional guests, we had a table exclusively for some of our newly qualified solicitors and trainees who hosted local agents, accountants, IFAs and other professional connections, at a similar stage in their own careers. Well done to Charlotte Bowen, Daniel Burton, Sophie Crane, Amy Saunders and Lucy Thomson for making this initiative such a success. A big thanks to the Yorkshire Law Society for pulling together a really enjoyable evening, which was also a great opportunity to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, and to ReviewSolicitors and the other sponsors for their support.

It’s common for parents to want to help their adult children financially, for example, providing support when a couple buy their first home together. But how should this money be dealt with if the couple are married and later divorce? Harrowells family Solicitor, Emma Walker, discusses what you should consider when making a family loan. https://lnkd.in/eQpfcXvM #familylaw #york #yorkshire #northyorkshire #mortages #yorkproperty

You might expect there to be clear rules about what should happened to a family pet when a relationship comes to an end. Sadly, this is not the case. In her latest blog, family Solicitor, Debra Jackson, takes a look at the rise of the ‘Pup-nup’, and whether you should consider this when you buy or adopt a new family pet. https://lnkd.in/efshfjk7 #pupnup #prenup #divorce #divorcelaw #familylaw #york #yorkbusiness #yorkshiresolicitors

It’s a fantastic milestone when trainees qualify to become Solicitors, and we are delighted to announce that four of our trainees are now qualified.   Charlotte Bowen is remaining in the Family law department, headed up by Amy Foweather.   Daniel Burton continues to work within the Commercial team, alongside Matt Rowley.   Sophie Crane has qualified into the Private Client department headed up by Edward Ryder.   George Sellers is specialising in Litigation, Disputes and Resolution, working alongside the head of department, Simon Black.   All have completed a two-year training contract with Harrowells. The nature of our business means that we can provide a variety of work to our trainees, across different types of clients, locations and team structures. Trainees work alongside specialists from different areas of law, advising on sometimes complex and high value matters. In all cases, they get early opportunities to interact directly with clients and so hone their advisory skills as well as develop their legal expertise.   We would like to congratulate all of our newly qualified Solicitors. We look forward to seeing your careers continue to flourish. Robert Onyett Clare Brown Peter Mills Matthew Hayward Richard H.

A team from Harrowells took part in the Herriot Hike last weekend, in aid of Herriot Hospice, based in Thirsk. We’re proud to support this fantastic charity, which provides care for people over a wide area of North Yorkshire. The Hike has already raised over £5,000, with donations still coming in.   The 9-mile walk included some stunning views, starting and finishing at Sutton Bank visitor centre. The team enjoyed a much-deserved cake and cuppa halfway around at High Paradise Farm.   Well done team Harrowells!
