Insolvency practitioner, Ian Robert of Kingston Smith LLP said: “My department specialises in providing formal insolvency advice to corporates and individuals and Palmers Solicitors handles property conveyancing on our behalf, as part of that process.
“We get along because Palmers Solicitors actually do what they say they will do – which is not a given in business”.
