Samantha Walker, Chartered Legal Executive at our Preston office, has become a fully accredited member of the national association Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) having successfully completed her assessments.

SFE is an independent national organisation of lawyers who provide specialist legal advice for older and vulnerable people, their families and carers. Members of SFE have a wealth of experience within this area of law and they are required to have spent a substantial amount of time working for elderly clients.

Samantha said: “The training required to become a member of SFE focuses on developing soft skills to support clients as they navigate complex issues such as Inheritance Tax and the intricacies of care fee planning. I look forward to helping new and existing BSG clients this year and I would like to thank the Partners for their support.”

Rebecca Lauder, Partner added:

“Congratulations to Samantha on achieving this milestone, which recognises her skills and experience. This now means our Private Client team are all members of Solicitors for the Elderly and we are committed to providing advice on planning for the future which is easy to understand and tailored to the client’s personal needs and circumstances.”
