Hutchinson Legal & Associates Limited is a locally-based law firm which provides cost effective legal services for private individuals and businesses both in the South West of England and all over the United Kingdom. Our core services for Private Clients include Wills, Lasting Power of Attorney, Probate and Estate Administration, Inheritance Tax Planning, Asset Protection and Trusts; for businesses we offer advice on company structure as well as drafting agreements, contracts and terms and conditions. In house the firm also handles divorce / family law cases and commercial litigation matters and through strategic alliances we are also able to provide independent financial advice, mortgage advice, accountancy services and other legal support in other areas of law such as conveyancing and criminal law. The majority of work we are instructed to carry out is done so on a fixed fee basis thus ensuring that our clients are aware of the costs involved before any work commences. We also offer all our services on a consultancy basis - clients (other law firms or sole practitioners) instruct us to prepare Wills, trusts and company legal documentation in order to then pass onto their own clients. We also offer bespoke tax planning advice and solutions for other firms who have high net worth individuals. Dr Paul Hutchinson, one of the directors of Hutchinson Legal & Associates Limited, is also often asked to speak at seminars and conferences on a range of topics such as business succession planning and trusts. The firm is proud to have received Trading Standards' "Approved Code" status as well as having a strong professional affiliation with the Institute of Professional Willwriters, the Institute of Paralegals, the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP) and the Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA).
