'Solicitors for the Elderly' (SFE).
Claire Ritchie and Nelissa Hicks will now join a select group of
experienced legal professionals who specialise in the provision of
legal services for older and vulnerable people, their families and
carers.
Solicitors for the Elderly is an independent, national
association whose members have a wealth of experience in this key
area of the law.
The association aims to improve the knowledge and service
provided on a range of legal issues including tax planning, wills,
enduring powers of attorney, long-term social and health care and
other retirement issues.

In order to become a member of the SFE, legal professionals must
fulfil the association's membership criteria, pass an extensive
entrance examination and have spent a significant amount of time
working with older and vulnerable clients.
Flint Bishop already specialises in legal matters for older
people. Claire and Nelissa's membership of the SFE will reinforce
the firm's reputation for delivering high quality legal advice in
this area.
Commenting on their membership of SFE, Claire Rudkin, partner
and head of wills, probate, tax and trusts at Flint Bishop,
said:
"I would like to congratulate Claire and Nelissa on qualifying
as members of SFE. This qualification from SFE recognises the
skills of my team in dealing with elderly and vulnerable
people."
