Samuel Phillips Law Blog
One of the North East’s longest established law firms has opened a dedicated Sunderland office at the North East BIC as it looks to expand its presence in the region.
Samuel Phillips Law are very proud to be based on the beautiful and historic Grey Street in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Having moved to Samuel Phillips Law in September 2020 and spending my first few months with the firm in and out of lockdown and tiers and adapting to hybrid working, I was looking forward to 2021, to a fresh start in my new, wonderful firm.
There’s no question that 2020 was a difficult year for everyone; a year that gave many people (myself included) the perspective on what really mattered to them. It was clear to me by January 2021, after a hectic Christmas, and working throughout the various lockdowns, that I was just not enjoying my role in Property Law as much as I used to… something was missing.
It has been a strange couple of years. Many terms have become all too common in our vocabularies during this time including Covid-19 and furlough, whilst technology and hybrid working have been forced to the forefront of our day-to-day working lives.
I often get asked by fellow professionals, clients and those considering a career in law, “what has it been like qualifying as a solicitor during the Coronavirus pandemic and how have you adapted to this experience?” As 2021 draws to a close, I thought now would be a good time to reflect on the past year and share some of my experiences I have had as a Solicitor at Samuel Phillips Law.
I expected to start 2021 returning from abroad after attending my eldest son’s wedding – that was not possible. As I write this, I am 4 days – PCR test willing - from attending the now 2x cancelled wedding in Dubai.
Over the last 11 days, the team at Samuel Phillips Law have been updating you on the changes to the various areas of law we deal with which will come into effect once the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December 2020.
Following a year of significant growth, investment and transformation, Samuel Phillips Law is delighted to announce a second appointment to their Partnership team this year with the promotion of Jane Fiddes, Head of Residential Property at the Grey Street firm.
