As June is Pride Month, it offers an important opportunity to reflect on how far the law has progressed in recognising and supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families.

In our latest article, Lisa O'Boyle, Senior Associate Solicitor, and Ellie Maynard, Solicitor in our Family team, explore the evolution of marriage equality in England and Wales. From the Civil Partnership Act 2004 through to the landmark Marriage (Same S*x Couples) Act 2013, they explain how the law now treats same-sex marriages in the same way as opposite-sex marriages, and what this means for divorce, financial remedies, and family proceedings.

One of the hardest parts of divorce proceedings is often the feeling that life is sitting in limbo while decisions are being worked through.

✨ Sudbury Business Expo – A Brilliant Day of Connections ✨

What a fantastic day at the Sudbury Business Expo!

It was great to see such a strong turnout from local businesses and to be part of an event that truly champions the strength of our regional business community. The energy in the room was brilliant – full of meaningful conversations, new connections, and opportunities to collaborate.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP stand, we really enjoyed chatting with you and learning more about your businesses.

Events like this are a great reminder of the value of building relationships face-to-face and supporting each other locally.

Well done to the organiser Penny Wilby for putting together such a successful event – we’re already looking forward to the next one!

Writing a will online or using a DIY template can seem like a sensible way to save money, but what looks like a straightforward solution can create significant problems for the people you leave behind, and those problems often cost far more to resolve than professional advice would have.

In our latest article, Gina Fairweather, Partner in our Wills, Life Planning and Probate team, explains the risks of DIY wills including invalid wills due to incorrect signing or witnessing, ambiguous wording that creates family disputes, and templates that cannot account for blended families, unmarried partners, or tax considerations.

FJG has four Association of Lifetime Lawyers members who regularly see the consequences of poorly drafted DIY wills, and by the time mistakes come to light, it's almost always too late to fix them.

Fostering is rarely just about opening your home. For many carers, it also means navigating financial pressures, employment challenges and a legal system that is still catching up with modern family life.

From workplace flexibility and foster carers’ legal status to changing government policy and growing pressure on the care sector, small legal and practical issues can quickly become much bigger concerns without the right support and advice.

In this latest newsletter article, Rachel Earnshaw and Spencer Lewis explore the evolving legal landscape surrounding foster care, why employment law developments matter, and the wider challenges facing foster carers and families today.

Some areas of law are about far more than paperwork and process. They often involve difficult family situations, sensitive conversations and periods of real uncertainty for the people involved.

Clients need someone who can guide them clearly, respond when needed, and handle matters with professionalism and discretion throughout.

Thank you for these lovely words about Karen and the support she provided during such a challenging time.

Thinking of selling your business? It’s only normal to be focused on how much you can get, who might buy it, and how quickly it can happen, but buyers tend to look at risk first.

In our latest article, Natasha Bhandari, Senior Associate in our Corporate & Commercial team, explains what buyers look for when considering a business purchase, including ownership and company records, contracts with customers and suppliers, and more. Addressing these areas before entering a sale process makes transactions much smoother.
