Over the years we've seen hundreds of raw, honest, often heartbreaking posts from members of our community navigating the toughest of times. We're always blown away by the level of support members who have gone through similar situations and give advice so openly. We know that approaching lawyers and getting good legal advice can be daunting, so we're thrilled to be partnering with Blackadders, a values led, people first law firm, who are highly skilled, and approachable. We'll be doing lots with the team at Blackadders over the coming months to support and signpost - first up, we're delighted to share an article written by Partner Shona Smith, where she discusses the barriers to seeking legal counsel, and the importance of offering compassionate support - legally and emotionally. Head to our website to read the full article as well as details of the exclusive egg offer. We look forward to working with the Blackadders team and were grateful for their support at our Summit where we managed to get a great team shot! 😊 https://lnkd.in/gsxRRsRz #PaidPartnership #FamilyLaw #ScottishLawyers 📸 - Image taken at the Summit by Anna Moffat
