Established in 1879 and with offices in Colchester and Clacton, TSP has grown to be one of the leading law firms in Essex, with 13 Directors and over 70 employees.
TSP’s lawyers bring together local and regional knowledge with City firm experience, enabling us to compete effectively with large London practices and we offer a full range of legal advice to individual clients and businesses and businesses.
We all need expert help and advice at some stage in our lives; whether you’re planning for the future and need wills and estates advice, are buying or selling property, or need advice on contentious issues such as clinical negligence, running a business or family matters, we are here to provide practical, professional advice.
Some of the areas of law we cover include:
Clinical Negligence
If you’ve experienced below-standard medical care, you may wish to claim to help you with the financial cost of a resulting disability or loss. Many of our clients make claims because they “don’t want the same thing to happen to someone else” – making a claim forces a Health Care Trust to investigate and increases the likelihood that lessons will be learned, processes improved and patients protected. We aim to support you through the difficult process of a legal claim and have a proven track record of achieving compensation for clients, particularly those experiencing the impacts of a birth injury.
Family Law
Disputes in families are often incredibly difficult. TSP are here to listen, advocate and guide you towards the best possible outcome. Our vast knowledge and expertise enable us to deal with every aspect of family law including divorce and separation, financial matters, issues involving children, abuse in relationships and family mediation.
The end of a relationship is a significant and often emotionally-fraught change in our lives and our Family team can help you navigate this journey. We can walk you through the process of divorce, and the financial and child- related decisions that may follow. Our team of experts can help you make claims and court applications, reducing the burden of stress on you and are here with advice and support on everything from Grandparent rights to child maintenance and family mediation.
Power Of Attorney and Later Life Planning
A power of attorney allows someone close to you to make your legal decisions on your behalf if for any reason, such as an accident or ill health, means that you are unable to do that for yourself. A power of attorney can make decisions around finances, health and more.
TSP’s Wills & Estates team can advise clients on estate and tax planning, Wills, trusts and lifetime giving, powers of attorney and Court of Protection work, Probate and the administration of estates, as well as provide information on home care and much more.
Fiona Ashworth who leads the TSP Wills and Estates team specialises in elderly client matters and is a full accredited member of Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) which is an independent national organisation of legal professionals who provide specialist legal advice for older and vulnerable people, their families and carers.
Residential Property
At TSP, we will take care of all the legal aspects of buying or selling your property so you can concentrate on the important things. Understanding that young families are keen to make the experience of moving home as smooth as possible, our team aim to be as accessible, offering out of hours appointments, direct-dial phone lines, email and text messaging so you can choose the channel that suits you. We can offer competitive fixed fee pricing for the majority of cases but also have the flexibility to meet specific or complex requirements. We can help you with buying and selling residential property, remortgages, lease extensions, property transfers and first registrations of unregistered land.
