Welcome to our October 2020 newsletter.  The eagle eyed of you might have noticed that we did not send out a newsletter in September.  We have been working on a new look newsletter which took a little longer than hoped to get to grips with but hopefully, if everything has gone to plan, this should have a new look and be a little easier to access the articles.

Summer is over and we drift into another autumn.  We had also been drifting back to the office and spending fewer days working from home but the current guidance has slowed that process.  We are doing everything we can to keep our colleagues and clients who have to visit the office safe.  We are now using the NHS track and trace service and if you need to call into our office you will see the necessary QR code displayed for your use.  One of our team will be happy to help should you encounter any problems using it.  If for whatever reason you cannot use the NHS app then all we ask is that you make sure that we have up to date contact details for you.

This month we have our usual mix of articles covering a range of legal topics and our friends over at LFBB Financial Planning have put together a great guide to help you choose the advisor that’s right for you.

If there is anything in this month’s newsletter that you have any questions about or if you would like any additional information then please give us a call on 0114 272 9721 or check out our website www.lfbbsolicitors.co.uk
