Commercial Solicitor
SRA ID:
I studied my Law degree at Swansea University, and then went on to do my postgraduate at Swansea, completing my Masters in Law combined with the LPC. After graduating in September 2020, I earned a role as admin support in November 2020 for GloverPriest, gaining a wide variety of experience within different areas of the firm. I became a paralegal 3 months into employment, having worked in the Conveyancing team, the Wills and Probate team, the Accounts team, and then took on a new position as an internal trainer for the whole firm. I have gained invaluable experience and this will help me for the foreseeable at GloverPriest. I am now fully qualified as a Solicitor with a specialisation of Commercial Conveyancing.

Thorough, swift, professional throughout!
Jack didn’t leave a single stone unturned. He always had my best interests at heart and worked quickly and professionally when given the correct documentation.
He always explained the legal jargon and always gave a truthful interpretation of timescales.
I am extremely pleased with Jack and Glover-Priest in general and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone else in the future.

The team at Glover Priest dealt with my house purchase as quickly and effectively as possible, Ann (legal assistant) went above and beyond to ensure the process went smoothly and communicated regularly.

Conveyancing
Instructed Glover Priest upon the conveyancing of my property. Communication was excellent throughout. There was an online portal to upload documents and track progress. Extremely efficient and very helpful. Highly recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, I'm sorry to hear your transaction didn't go as you expected. On reviewing your file I can see that it took almost a month for us to gain authority from you with several unanswered calls and numerous emails. Searches were requested on the day we gained authority to act along with raising enquires to which the other side of your transaction gave poor responses which Jack had to challenge and raise additional enquires against. Towards the end of the transaction we were informed of alternative funding which did also require further time to complete due diligence further causing delays. Throughout your transaction several times a 3rd party tried to contact us on your behalf to which they were advised they had no authority to speak on your behalf.

Thank you so much to Jack and all the team at Glover Priest in Lichfield. The process of moving house can certainly be stressful, but the team were always friendly, helpful, and happy to answer my queries throughout the process.

This part of my review is for Ann Merrick who I am very grateful to have help me through the process. Ann was very available and approachable, she responded to me promptly and was able to explain things to me clearly. I felt in safe hands with Ann. Thank you!

I am happy and confident that the work that was done is thorough and correct. I feel Jack could have been quicker and more regular with his communication as I had to request updates rather than receiving them as each stage was complete. I also found that when I asked to explain things into lamen terms for someone who is new to the terminology and experience Jack was unable to do this clearly.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are always looking at ways we can improve how we communicate, Jack has noted many occasions where contact was made with you with one time being in excess of 40 minutes. Jack did have a short and unforeseen sickness resulting in a couple of days absence, this could have slightly interrupted Jack's ability to maintain contact with you.
