A 2017 recap and what's coming for DRN in 2018

By DRN Solicitors

05 Jan 2018

2017 has been an interesting year for DRN, with many exciting new developments taking place.

We opened our Ramsbottom office, led by Gareth Seddon. With Gareth’s influence in the local business community and his connections in the sports world, this was a key factor in establishing a presence quickly in the Ramsbottom area.

It was a landmark year for our solicitor, Nick Dearing, who became a Notary Public – an internationally recognised public office. Having access to a Notary Public is crucial for businesses operating internationally. A Notary Public can legalise documents for international trade, such as, Certificates of Incorporation, Articles of Association and Certificates of Good Standing.

Root Fifty Two

Over the last few months we have held numerous initiatives. In November, we teamed up with Will Aid to offer a free will writing service. This raised a substantial sum for the Will Aid charity and enabled many local residents to get a basic will in return for a small donation.

The Young Carers Project 

On Friday 15th of December we got involved in Christmas Jumper Day which is an initiative from Save the Children. Our team made a fantastic effort and raised money for a very worthy cause.

Coming in 2018, as mentioned, is our new website. A key feature of the new site will be the introduction of an online conveyancing quotation service. Property sellers will be able to enter basic details of their proposed sale into the website, then receive a quotation for our conveyancing services.

From all the team here at DRN, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
