With staffing levels currently sitting at 25, the family-run legal firm has grown by 50% since forming in October 2022 and CEO Ivan Ralph expects that trend to continue.

Mr Ralph said: “We’re getting busier and busier all the time and there are no signs of things easing off.

“I expect that trend to continue going forward and it’s encouraging to see the business grow in this manner. This month, for example, we have 180 transactions to be settled.

“We have a number of fee earners in the office who are working many more hours than we would like them to have to do in order to keep up with the volume.

“It’s not our style to have our staff in for hours on end, working around the clock. We look after our people, they work extremely hard, do a great job for our clients and I want them to be able to go home at a normal time.”

The firm recently appointed Tzana Webster as head of estate agency, who now leads an experienced team of valuers including Robin Davie and Stuart Quate.

Mr Ralph added: “We have always done large volumes of legal work but the estate agency side of the business is a focus for growth.”
