Law firms unite to support elderly and vulnerable clients

Nationwide, SFE is an independent organisation of more than 1,600 solicitors, barristers and chartered legal executives who provide legal advice to older and vulnerable people.

The Lancashire and Cumbria group is now looking to host more events to share knowledge with other professionals that work with vulnerable clients.

Jane Huntley, regional co-ordinator for SFE and law lecturer at UCLan, said, “I’m excited to be working with our local solicitors to ‘relaunch’ the Lancashire and Cumbria SFE group. Our local members will be able to meet each other and drive forward good practice in our work with elderly clients and their families. “The scope of Tim’s talk will be relevant not only to SFE members; it will be of equal interest to other professionals who work with older people, such as accountants, financial advisers, and charity, health and social workers. The meetings are open to all and I look forward to a lively and productive discussion.”
