Family law expert joins firm

Quality Solicitors Talbots, which employs 180 people across seven local offices, has appointed Paul Furnival to lead the firm’s private client family law offer.

The experienced specialist’s remit is to grow the firm’s unique "fixed fee" service that is looking to help clients offset the abolition of legal aid by providing affordable legal advice to achieve the best resolutions.

His client base will be with the firm’s high net worth individuals on a host of issues from prenuptial agreements and arrangements for children to divorce and financial settlements

“This is a very exciting move and a chance to join an independent firm that is determined to change the way families access the advice they need,” says Paul, who graduated from Chester College of Law and has spent the last nine years as the principal solicitor of his own firm.

Martyn Morgan, director, says: “We’ve been growing this part of the business consistently over the last couple of years, but this appointment now takes us to the next level.

“Paul is one of the most respected figures in the sector and his experience and desire to develop innovative legal practices will be crucial in helping us maximise the growing demand for our 'fixed fee’ family law offer.”
