Background Information about Terry & Co.

 

Hello, I hope you find these pages useful. I am a solicitor (lawyer) in general practice in the UK or, more particularly, in England because the legal systems of Scotland on the one hand and England and Wales on the other are rather different from one another. The problems on these pages all relate to divorce or the breakdown of relationships and they are the sort of questions people approach me about on a daily basis. My name is David Terry and I have an LL.B. from London and an M.A. from Oxford University. When I qualified as a solicitor I was offered a partnership with a firm in Lincoln's Inn, one of the Inns of Court in London, and I worked there as a partner for a number of years.

 

 

However, as time has gone by I have concentrated only on one area of work because that is what I prefer and that is divorce and the legal problems which relate to it. This is a specialised divorce practice which does not undertake any other type of work. Also, although by no means exclusively, at least half of my clients are British expatriates working overseas who are involved in divorce proceedings in England.

 

 

For this reason I know that faxes, telephones and e-mail are usually more efficient than meeting a client in person and e-mail, in particular, is a very quick and effective way of communicating with clients inside and outside the UK. It is perfectly possible, for example, to obtain a divorce in the UK for two British nationals temporarily working overseas without either party having to attend court in the UK and by using e-mail for all client correspondence. It is also, incidentally, usually cheaper because personal interviews tend to be costly as a result of the time they take up.

 

 

I specialise in divorce related work and have done so for many years. Therefore if you need advice on corporate mergers or demergers and such-like there are specialist (and much more expensive) firms for that type of work. The range of problems I have mentioned in these pages is something of a personal choice based upon my own experience of the kind of issues people face in the real world and they do not aim to be exhaustive. However, they are the most common problems and the ones I am most often asked about.

 

 

If you have a query please do not hesitate to mail David Terry at David_Terry@terry.co.uk and I will do my best to answer or try to point you in the right direction.
