Latest COVID-19 update

This is our latest COVID-19 update for our clients on how Thatcher + Hallam are continuing to provide a full service through the coronavirus pandemic.

Given the lifting of government restrictions on 19^th July, we thought it would be helpful to update our clients on the steps we will continue to take at Thatcher + Hallam with regard to protecting our clients and staff from coronavirus. The safety of our local community, staff and clients remains a priority.

Please note the following:

• Our staff will continue to wear masks when passing through our buildings.
• We ask that clients only attend our office to collect or deliver documents where necessary.
• We ask that clients continue to wear a mask when meeting with our team or dropping documents at reception, unless you are exempt.
• We will continue to meet with clients but on essential matters only and strictly by prior arrangement.
• Where face to face meetings are not possible, we can meet with you by whatever other means suits you best, for example via Zoom, Skype or Facetime or on the telephone.
• Our screens will remain in place in our meeting rooms and hand sanitiser will be available. We will maintain enough time between face to face appointments to ensure our meeting rooms can be thoroughly cleaned.
• Please do not attend the office in person, for any reason, if you have tested positive / have symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive / had symptoms in accordance with the NHS guidance on self isolating.

Need legal advice?

We continue to provide support to our clients on matters relating to:

• Buying and selling your home
• Family law
• Wills, probate and tax planning
• Personal injury claims
• Commercial property and business

If you’d like to speak to us then please contact us on 01761 414646 or complete our online enquiry form – linked here.

Appointments are strictly by prior arrangement.

Our reception remains open and fully operational, but we ask that you only visit us when necessary, to collect or deliver documents. We kindly ask that you continue to wear a face covering when entering the building, unless exempt.

Please do not attend the office in person, for any reason, if you have tested positive / have symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive / had symptoms in accordance with the NHS guidance on self isolating.

Meetings with clients

We remain committed to meeting with our clients. However, these meetings now take place ‘remotely’, rather than face to face, where possible. We are able to hold these meetings with you over the telephone, via Zoom, Skype or Facetime and will arrange this with you individually.

Clients remain able to contact their solicitor directly. You can see contact details of the team here.

Free Virtual Legal Surgery

More than ever, people are in need of advice about their legal rights and responsibilities. We have therefore taken our legal surgery online and sessions are now held virtually.

If you need to access the virtual legal surgery at Thatcher + Hallam please complete the form linked here and one of the team will contact you regarding your query. For those without access to the Internet we can be contacted on 01761 414646.

Keeping you up to date

We will continue to monitor latest government guidance and update our website and social media as and when this impacts on how we deliver our services.

You can follow us on social media, where we post regular updates on how we continue to operate. Find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Thank you

We really appreciate the support and understanding we have received from our clients over the last few months and hope our coronavirus update is helpful. We will continue to provide the local community with our services and look forward to seeing you in person, as soon as we are able. But meanwhile, please do get in touch if we can help with any legal matters. And do take care.
