OUR PRACTISE AREAS

We can work for you in any number of ways. Each situation is different and will demand a different skill set. Here at Jack Lewis Law Firm, we use all our skills to create a route which is specifically tailored to your situation. Below we set out some of the ways we can try to help you.

Wills & Probate

Your will is your final wish and most probably your last message to your loved ones. When you die, your property and possessions with high value are your assets and become your ‘estate’.

We are privileged to hold experience in wills, probate, and estate law stretching back for almost a decade. Whether you need to write your first will or apply for a Grant of Representation to administer an estate, our experienced litigation solicitors can help you take on the whole process.
Jack Lewis law firm is committed to serving clients with expertise and insights to solve their most challenging problems and create key solutions to succeed.

Business Legal service

All employees of businesses, no matter how large or small, have contracts. These may not necessarily be written; they can be verbal, too. However, your employer is legally obligated to provide a written statement of the main terms and conditions.

If your employer changes the contract without your agreement, your employer is breaching that contract – and not complying with the law. Regardless of the contract, your employers are obliged to comply with minimum statutory requirements of annual leave, hours worked and pay.

Backed by extensive expertise gained from specialist employment law firms, Valemus Law solicitors are able to explain employment law in a congenial and easy to understand manner, advising you as to your rights and showing you the best way forward. We also benefit from having an Employment Law judge on our team. We recognise that each employee matter is unique and therefore each response must be tailored to your needs.
