This area covers the steps people take to change how their name appears on official documents and records, typically starting with a surname or forename change for adults or children. It includes when a deed poll or statutory declaration is used, and what happens when the change relates to linking identity with employment, banking, or family life. A solicitor in this area helps you prepare the necessary documents, guides you through eligibility, and handles any required notices or applications. The work may hinge on procedural steps, timing, and official acceptance by relevant registers.

Leads the Name Changes team
Shak Inayat
Principal Solicitor
Works with Emma Aslett
“After being let down by several solicitors, in an extremely adversarial and lengthy family court case, Shak was recommended to me. He helped me understand how the family court system works and how my previous approach was damaging my case. Over a year on, with Shak's expert guidance and support, my situation has changed for the better. Shak is extremely knowledgeable and was always supportive. I felt I could always call on his expertise if I had any concerns. My child and I can now look forward to the future, but this would not have been possible without Shak and the team at Penn Chambers. ”
