Arthur (above left), official Labrador at Vale Solicitors, reflects on the past and the future.
There were of course lawyers in Llantwit long before us. In the 16th Century Edmund Vann did well enough from his legal practice to build Old Place in Llantwit Major. At the other end of town Boverton Place was the home of Roger Seys the Attorney General of all Wales under Queen Elizabeth 1st. There seems to have been some friction between these two lawyers. Edward Vann was fined over £1,000 at the Court of Star Chamber for his part in an affray in the centre of Llantwit Major when he led an attack on the Seys family.
Lawyer relations in Llantwit Major are a good deal more harmonious these days. Vale Solicitors Directors, Michael Morgan and Jon Hewitson, have worked together for over thirty years and remain the best of friends. They are proud of the history of their firm but look forward to the future with the support of an excellent team (including their Labradors)
Arthur and his assistant Paddington enjoy the quality of Labrador office life in Llantwit Major with regular lunchtime trips to the beach and a regular supply of treats from grateful clients.
Arthur is always on paw to help Jo Sloper our Chief Conveyancer in Llantwit Major. Jo maintains the highest standards to earn our accreditation by the Law Society’s Quality Conveyancing Scheme. She wins constant praise from clients whom she guides through the sometimes-complex process of buying and selling homes.
Denisa Buciuta and Carys Slack are our ace Solicitors. They both qualified with Vale Solicitors and are now in demand for the best advice and assistance in Family Law, Property and Wills and Probate.
New boy in Llantwit Major is leading Property and Housing Solicitor Chris Coates, who returned to join the Vale Solicitors after starting as Michael’s trainee some 30 years ago.
Our rising star is Trainee Solicitor Rebeca Williams and hopefully she will be part of our future.
The importance for everyone at Vale Solicitors is to provide personal and efficient service for all our clients. We meet most clients in person at our office in Llantwit Major and Barry make home visits throughout the Vale
Arthur says: “At Vale Solicitors we offer a full range of legal services for the good people of Llantwit Major and throughout the Vale. Whatever your problem, please give us a call – but don’t forget the dog treats!”
Vale Solicitors were founded in Cowbridge in 1867 (as Rees and Gwyn) and it is over fifty years since they first opened in Llantwit Major.
