No disputing Shropshire solicitors are set for success
A Shropshire firm of property law experts is drawing up plans for continued expansion following a hugely successful year marked by three significant milestones.
Much Wenlock-based Fodens Solicitors has entered 2012 on the back of a phenomenal last few months, which saw the firm relocate into larger premises, achieve a prestigious industry standard for excellence, and have one of its senior team gain national recognition at a special ceremony in the House of Commons.
The firm, which specialises in all property-related legal matters and is led by experienced Founding Partner and Director Stephen Foden, acquired the old HSBC Bank building on the town’s High Street, and following a series of eye-catching and sympathetic renovations, finally moved into its new 1,100 sq ft site during the Spring.
Further success was secured in August, when Fodens Solicitors achieved the Lexcel Practice Management Standard. “This is the Law Society’s international yardstick and demonstrates that certain professional standards have been met,” Stephen Foden explained. “It is only awarded to solicitors that meet the highest possible management and customer care standards, and we had to undertake a rigorous independent inspection to prove that we meet these strict requirements.”
Kelly Davies, a Director at the firm, was also recognised at a prestigious event held by industry body the Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX) in the House of Commons Terrace Pavilion. Kelly was honoured as one of the first 100 Legal Executives in the country to become a fully-fledged partner of a legal practice.
Following on from these three landmarks, the firm now has exciting plans to develop both its range of services and its team. Stephen Foden commented: “We are expanding our expertise to deal with matters of wills and probate, and due to the increasing number of instructions we’ve been receiving in recent months, we’re also looking to grow our team further during the early part of the year.”
Formed in 1999, Fodens Solicitors provides advice in all areas of law where “property matters”, including residential and commercial property sales and purchase, building construction disputes and advice, debt recovery, shareholder disputes, and contested probate claims.
