Anita Boardman

Managing Director

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Anita became Joint Managing Director at AFG LAW in 2016 and is Head of the Private Client Department. Since taking over the running of the firm with Greg French, Anita’s role has changed significantly. Although still head of our Private Client Department, her role is also leading AFG LAW as the firm continues to embark upon its ambitious growth strategy. Since 2016 under Anita’s leadership the firm has grown to double it’s previous size in both staff and turnover. New departments, processes and personnel have been introduced to improve efficiencies and Anita remains active in HR, operating an open-door policy for anyone who needs her. Anita started her career with AFG LAW at the age of 19 as a junior secretary. She qualified as a Licensed Conveyancer in 1993 and specialised in residential conveyancing. One of Anita’s goals in life was always to become a Solicitor and, with the encouragement and support from the partners at AFG LAW, took the Legal Executive route and qualified as a solicitor in 2003. She was made a partner in the Property and Private Client Department in 2006. Anita specialised in residential conveyancing for 20 years and has built a successful Private Client Department over the past 15 years, where she is the Head of Private Client Department supported by specialist staff dealing with Wills, Probate, Lasting Power of Attorney, Court of Protection applications and long term social and health care for clients. Anita was pivotal in AFG LAW becoming a dementia friendly firm and we continue to take part in charity events to raise funds for various dementia charities. Anita was the President of the Bolton Law Society for two years and helped build upon its membership and profile. She stayed on as Vice President before stepping down last year. Anita was also the Chairman of the Bolton Towns Board for a few years before deciding one project at a time. Anita is the firm’s compliance officers for legal practice (COLP) and compliance officer for finance and administration (COFA). Outside of work, Anita loves fashion and takes a keen interest in the new trends. She also loves to travel and regularly adds places to her bucket list when others tell her of interesting places they have visited, so her list is getting longer not shorter!

I would like to express my thanks for the excellent service I received while preparing my will. From first meeting Anita through to completion, the process was handled with professionalism, clarity and genuine care. It was a very positive experience and I would not hesitate to recommend Anita and AFG to others. I really appreciated the time taken to explain everything clearly and ensure my wishes were fully understood.

Can't fault the service I received from AFG Law. They listened to what I wanted to put in my Will, and gave advice on the wording and legal perspective so it reflected my wishes perfectly. Anita and her team are lovely and I'll certainly be using their services again.

We have nothing but praise for this company. Everyone has been so helpful and professional. Any contact has been quickly dealt with and appointments are made easily . The support and advice we’ve had has also been first class. Our dealings have been around making wills and advice on how to deal with the paperwork for probate and inheritance tax. We will be using this company for conveyancing etc when we have a property to sell. We trust Anita Boardman and her colleagues and can wholeheartedly recommend them. Thank you to everyone who has supported us through our bereavement tasks .
