World Cancer Day at Parry Law

IMG_3571

Too many lives are touched by cancer; whether we have personally experienced the cruel consequences of the disease or simply know someone who has struggled through the treatments, it is something that impacts on everyone’s life.

This year we decided to mark World Cancer Day on Thursday 4th February. The local Cancer Research shop were incredibly supportive and supplied us with 50 Unity bands to sell. The leading cancer charities have all been selling Unity bands in their nominated colours at a suggested donation of £2 each. Every member of staff supported this worthy cause.

In order to boost our fund raising further we also organised an office bake sale. The contributions were impressive! A surprising number of people brought in edible contributions including both homemade and store bought sweet treats, savoury snacks and fruit for those with less of an indulgent side (and more restraint!) than others. Needless to say, the mountain of options proved popular and people donated generously.

The day brought some laughs, some yummy home baking and raised cash for a very worthy cause in the process.

World Cancer Day is a time to stop for a moment and give thanks to our UK cancer charities for their continuing hard work in their campaigns to raise awareness, promoting lifesaving research and providing aftercare and support to suffering individuals and their families.

We at Parry Law hope that the £235 that we raised will play even just a small part in securing a safer, healthier future for individuals and their families whose lives are impacted by cancer, and would encourage everyone to continue raising awareness and taking part in charitable fundraising events, now and in the future.

Collaborative Family Law

We are delighted to announce that Perveez Sethna, our Head of Family has qualified as a Collaborative Lawyer.

As an alternative to the Court based process, we are now able to offer our clients an alternative route to resolving all issues, including those relating to finances and children.

Unlike the traditional process whereby when couples split they each take independent advice from their own family lawyer, the collaborative route consists of a series of round table meetings whereby you and your former partner, each with your own solicitors all sit down with an agreed commitment to resolve issues together. Rather than dealing through solicitors this process allows you to work with them to reach the best solution for you and your family.

Under this process it is not necessary for either of the parties to attend Court.

At its simplest, the collaborative process is all about reaching solutions together, to ease the pain of family breakdown.

If you wish to find out more information about the collaborative law process please contact Perveez Sethna either by telephone on number (01227) 276276 or by email at – perveez.sethna@parrylaw.co.uk
