We also have substantial skills in the area of residential development where we can deal with site acquisitions and disposals, advise on planning and affordable housing issues and handle the whole process from site assembly to unit sales. Contact Steve White, Edward Monds, Richard Tombs or Kerry Houston

Residential Conveyancing
Turners offers a first-class service to home buyers, backed by extensive knowledge of local conditions and numerous contacts with other professionals involved in the housing market. If you are buying, selling or re-mortgaging and are looking for solicitors who will really help you, call Sue Hobby, Edward Monds,Deanne Edwards or Anne Albritton.

Private client work
Because we practice in a part of the country with high residential property values, helping people with life-time and inheritance tax planning is an increasing part of our work. But even making a simple will brings peace of mind and we can help with this whatever your circumstances. We of course also administer trusts and estates, where the efficient, but caring, approach we take is important to trust beneficiaries and family and friends left behind. Contact Paul Smith or Kevin Mason

Dispute resolution and litigation
Nobody likes going to law. But sometimes it is necessary, and when that happens you want a first-class lawyer on your side. Turners specialised and experienced litigation team can help in all kinds of private and commercial cases in the High Court and the County Court, in employment and other tribunal cases, and where disputes are dealt with through arbitration or mediation. Contact David Blackmore if you have civil, child care or an employment case, and Kevin Whitlock for divorce and matrimonial matters. Kevin Whitlock, Mike Shutler or Sally Carmichael if yours is a property litigation or commercial ltigation case.

Company and commercial
We can help with all aspects of business organisation, from setting up new companies and partnerships to sales and acquisitions of established undertakings. But it is doing business that counts and we can support this in many areas. Thus we routinely advise on a wide range of supply, distribution, agency and R&D contracts, often involving parties overseas, on patent, copyright, trade mark and other intellectual issues, also in the increasingly important area of competition law. We can also help with such things such as employment contracts and standard business conditions. Contact David Blackmore or Mike Shutler.
