A BRADFORD-based personal law solicitor has been recognised with a national award for her expertise in supporting older and vulnerable people.

Jennifer Lee, of LCF Law, has achieved the Older Client Care in Practice (OCCP) Award.

Jennifer helps individuals and families manage their affairs and plan for the future, guiding them through the process of making a will and advising on Powers of Attorney.

“I like to try and ease the burden and make things as straightforward and as stress-free as possible for my clients”, she said.

“Older and more vulnerable clients often have special requirements that can be complex and life changing.

“We must consider any potential mental and physical difficulties that might affect them and be a trusted partner – something that this award exemplifies.”

To achieve the award, Jennifer completed a stringent assessment, and is now a fully accredited member of SFE (Solicitors for the Elderly),

Lakshmi Turner, chief executive of SFE, said: “We recommend people always use specialist legal advice when planning for later life, and SFE is the gold standard for solicitors and chartered legal executives advising on older client law.

“The OCCP Award ensures lawyers provide the best advice to older people and their families, guiding them through the different legal processes sensitively.”
