SFE is an association of lawyers specialising in legal services
for older people. Members have a wealth of experience within this
key legal area and are required to have spent a substantial amount

association is to improve the knowledge and service provided for
the older people and their carers on legal issues including tax
planning, wills, powers of attorney, retirement issues, long-term
social and health care.
Karon Walton will be responsible for running the SFE's regional
branch, covering Leicestershire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire.
Her role will involve holding meetings with fellow SFE members to
discuss issues in the field of elderly client law and organising
training sessions delivered by critical experts in the field. She
will be the main point of contact with the national group ensuring
that information is shared among members. Karon will also act as
the SFE's regional ambassador, making contact with appropriate
organisations to raise awareness of elderly client issues and also
be a key point of contact for legal advice in this area.
Law firm Harvey Ingram provides a variety of specialist legal
services and has a team of lawyers specialising in issues affecting
older people. Karon's new role as the SFE's East Midlands Regional
Co-ordinator will provide clients with further assurance of Harvey
Ingram's superb track-record in providing legal services for the
elderly.
She says: "I have been specialising in legal service for older
people for many years and am looking forward to my new role as East
Midlands Regional Co-ordinator. It means that I will be able to
continue giving both my clients and colleagues first class legal
advice in a field of law which is constantly evolving, as the
requirements of the elderly population change."
