Raanan is an expert in Family law but also applies a strategy that is always in the best interests of his clients
Finding a good Solicitor can be difficult but in Raanan Berlad of Berlad Graham LLP I have found someone who goes far beyond a purely solicitor/client relationship. Raanan displays a very sharp intellect in his approach to the law and to how to conduct the case. He is an expert in Family law but also applies a strategy that is always in the best interests of his clients. Just as with the philosophy of Berlad Graham LLP, Raanan’s pro-active communication is superb, always returning calls and promptly dealing with matters as soon as they arise and in the most appropriate way, I never had to chase for a response. Raanan shows an empathy with his clients but always remains focused on what action is best to take to achieve the right result for his customers.

Berlad Graham’s Quality Marks that show our Quality
Over the last few years Berlad Graham LLP has rapidly grown and as part of the process added and obtained various quality marks. What do they actually mean and why have we gone through this effort to obtain the same? CQS – The Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a recognised quality standard for residential conveyancing practices. Membership establishes a level of credibility for firms with stakeholders such as regulators, lenders and insurers as well as residential homebuyers and sellers. Since inception, in 2011, the CQS has created a trusted community which has helped year on year to deter fraud and continually improve standards across the residential conveyancing sector. CQS is awarded to firms who can demonstrate a very high level of experience in the field and forces its members to adhere to a very strict protocol. Lexcel – Lexcel is the Law Society’s legal practice quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and excellence in client care. It provides a flexible, supportive management framework to help practices develop consistent operational efficiencies and client services, manage risk effectively, reduce costs and promote profitability. Lexcel sets the required Standard in seven different areas: structure and strategy, financial management, information […]
What price for peace of mind?
The writer of a recent article I’ve read pointed out that as we are all living longer the tendency is for us to marry or enter into civil partnerships more than once and indeed marry in our more mature years. It suggested that we all wanted the security of marriage to avoid any difficulties, with, for example a partner being excluded from our bedside by our next of kin if taken into hospital. This posed a question as to how to protect assets accumulated over the years for the benefit of your children from a previous relationship without excluding the current spouse. The article suggested that by entering into a Pre-Nuptial Agreement and making a Will you could achieve that security. So far the advice was sound but the writer then went on to suggest that this security can only be bought at a price and that price was high!! They quoted up to £20,000 for a Pre-Nuptial Agreement and an average of around £5,000. Certainly, if you have vast wealth which included offshore trusts then you will be looking at the higher figure but for the majority this work can be done for a modest fee. But what price for […]
