lfbb-newsletter-may-2024 LFBB Newsletter May 2024  
       
 

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening to all our readers and welcome to our the LFBB May newsletter bringing you updates on legal matters, articles, and news from Paradise Square.

We hope that you have enjoyed the bank holiday.

This month, we delve into the complexities of divorce across international borders to shed light on the legal intricacies involved in such cases. Navigating through different jurisdictions, laws, and regulations can be daunting, but we are here to provide guidance and support to ensure a smooth process during such challenging times.

At the end of April we bid farewell to our colleague, Lizzy, as she embarks on a new career. Lizzy has been an invaluable member of our team, and whilst we are sad to see her go, we all wish her success and happiness in all that she chooses to do.  Good luck Lizzy.

In addition, it was a pleasure for our managing partner to connect with two of our Australian readers during their visit to the UK. We hope that you enjoyed your return to the UK, we once again apologise for the wet weather and we hope that you enjoy the rest of your trip.  Building and maintaining relationships is what we at LFBB are all about; it helps us to provide comprehensive legal solutions.

As always, we are dedicated to assisting our clients efficiently and professionally. If you need help, get in touch.  LFBBsolicitors.co.uk or 01142729721.
