BLANCHARDS .... My legal Home

I think I was 33 years of age when my Bank Manager introduced me to the late Mr David Lang in Blandford as I had to swear an oath. My business was in Cornwall but I was impressed and decided to transfer all my legal matters to Langs. A very happy move and away from Cornwall. Of course Langs eventualy joined Blanchards and I have been very well looked after ever since. Now I am 85 and still very, very happy!

Legal advice on financial transactions, at start and on redemption

Excellent advice on rather complex and time-critical commercial loan, able to critique actions of other party's commercial solicitor, and to advise on actions a year later to achieve redemption.
