COVID-19 – HHD #BusinessAsUsual   Naomi Woods

With every day bringing new advice and guidance, we recognise that we’ve had to adapt our business model to provide advice, assistance and legal solutions for our clients. Although our office premises are closed, we are operating our services as usual.

At this time we would like you to meet our solicitors and staff who are working remotely to deliver services in our usual professional and efficient way.
