GA Solicitors is a leading regional law firm based in Plymouth. Established for more than 200 years, it provides a professional and friendly service which achieves results.
Every one of the firm’s experienced solicitors is a specialist in their area, but with seven dedicated departments, GA benefits from being able to call on the expertise of other areas; allowing it to provide its clients with an unrivalled service and unbeatable results.
The firm has a modern approach to law; using technology to keep clients up to date and costs down, making themselves available outside of the normal 9am to 5pm, and striving to ensure clients have direct access to the lawyer working on their case. Client care is paramount at GA Solicitors.
The firm has seven core departments:
BUSINESS
With extensive experience in a range of corporate and commercial matters, the substantial commercial team has developed a track record which speaks for itself. The team works with businesses across Plymouth and the wider south west, advising on a range of issues such as: commercial property; partnership and shareholder agreements; joint ventures; insolvency; debt recovery; finance or buying; selling or merging businesses. Our business is to look after yours.
FAMILY
The dedicated family department includes members accredited by Resolution as well as members of the Law Society's children panel. It deals with pre-nuptial agreements, living together agreements, issues arising from any relationship breakdown, divorce, financial provision and protection of assets and provision for the care of children of the family. The team has experience in acting for the parents, carers and children, where there is intervention from social services. Legal Aid is available for certain cases but if it is not available, competitive fees and a clear pricing structure are in place.
EMPLOYMENT
Whether you are an employee looking for support, or an employer requiring advice and guidance, GA’s employment experts can offer advice to guide you through the complex maze of employment law. The team can support you with tribunal claims; contracts of employment; disciplinary and grievance procedures; termination agreements and much more. Employment is one of the fastest changing areas of law so you need to always know where you stand.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If you have a problem, you need GA Solicitors’ dispute resolution team on your side. Whether it is a commercial dispute, negligence claim, property dispute or debt enforcement, GA will ensure you achieve the best possible outcome. Where feasible the team will assist with arbitration or mediation, but when stronger action is needed, GA will be there to fight your corner and achieve the result you deserve. Fixed fee advice is possible.
WILLS, TRUST AND PROBATE
With GA’s dedicated team on the case, you can relax knowing your affairs are in the best possible order. Better still, many services are offered on a fixed fee basis so you always know what to expect. Our friendly and professional team advises on a range of issues including: inheritance tax and planning; probate, the writing of and disputing of wills; Lasting Powers of Attorney; applications to the Court of Protection and the establishment of trusts.
CONVEYANCING
Buying or selling a property needn’t be stressful. GA’s conveyancing team is on hand to guide you through the legal process and make it as trouble-free as possible. It can provide support on the sale and purchase of all types of residential property, as well as the transfer of equity or re-mortgaging. The team works on a fixed fee basis so you can be sure you are getting a good deal – and, as accredited members of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme, you can also be confident you will receive an excellent level of service.
PERSONAL INJURY
At GA Solicitors we only represent victims and the specialist personal injury team has recovered compensation for thousands of people. They will assess your case without charge or obligation and may be able to offer a no-win, no-fee agreement ensuring you secure access to justice. The team deals with any kind of injury, so whether you’ve been involved in a road traffic accident, had a slip or fall, suffer with an industrial disease (asbestosis or mesothelioma), injured at work or been a victim of medical negligence, they will fight your case while you concentrate on the important task of getting better.
