We are thrilled to announce we have a new team of partners following David Anstee's decision to step back from full-time work. Our two new partners are Karen Starkey, who started her legal career with us at Walton Road and who becomes our first ever female equity partner, and Tariq Phillips, who formerly ran his own legal practice. They join Salvatore Sole as our brilliant new leadership team and everyone at KWW wishes them the greatest success.

KWW Solicitors has a new equity partnership team following the retirement from full-time work of former managing partner David Anstee. David, who was also in charge of KWW’s family law department, joined the East Molesey law firm in 1997, became a partner in 2003, and had been senior partner since...

What a great way to bring the week to a close: this fabulous review from one of our clients just landed on Google. It praises the work done by Tariq Phillips, our new superstar property solicitor. If you or someone you know is looking for commercial property expertise from the legal standpoint, Tariq will be delighted to give you a quotation.

"I had the pleasure of working with Tariq Phillips at KWW Solicitors for the acquisition of a business, which was essential for securing the lease interest in a restaurant premises in Chelsea. Tariq's expertise and attention to detail were evident from our first conversation.

He guided me through every stage of the company acquisition process, ensuring that all legal aspects were handled thoroughly and efficiently.

What truly exceeded my expectations was Tariq's ability to complete the entire transaction in just a quarter of the time typically expected for a company acquisition.

His proactive approach, clear communication, and commitment to keeping everything on track made a complex process feel straightforward and stress-free.

I am extremely grateful for Tariq's outstanding service and would highly recommend him and KWW Solicitors to anyone seeking expert legal support for business acquisitions."

With Christmas approaching fast, to be followed by all those New Year resolutions, our Head of Wills Karen Starkey says one of the kindest things you can do for your family is have a valid Will in place. We know it’s not the nicest thing to be thinking about at a time of celebration, but the consequences of dying intestate are frightening, especially if you have children. When you're ready to take control, we'll be here for you.

Christmas is an ideal time to plan your Will

Huge congratulations to two of our brightest young stars who this week passed their all-important SQE2 (Solicitors Qualifying Examination Stage 2), an essential stop on the road to becoming a fully fledged solicitor in England and Wales.

Georgia White (right of picture), who over the past two years has been honing her skills and gaining valuable experience in our family law department, and Katharine Wilson-Jarvis, who rejoined us this month to further her specialism in wills, lasting powers of attorney and probate, are the toast of KWW.

David Anstee, managing partner of KWW, said: "We're incredibly proud of Georgia and Katharine and the way they applied themselves. These are tough exams, covering five key practice areas and testing core legal skills such as advocacy, interviewing, research and case and matter analysis."

Salv Sole, partner and Head of Property, said the pair could now look forward to a worry-free run-in to Christmas and a break from all the intense studying. "With young professionals of the calibre of Georgia and Katharine in our team, KWW is in good shape for the future."

As we arrive at the halfway point of Resolution’s Good Divorce Week 2025, David Anstee, Head of Family Law at KWW Solicitors of East Molesey, offers some thoughts on the divorce process and how it is best handled… Divorce, even when mutually agreed, brings a tidal wave of emotions – anger, sad...

Thinking of moving in 2026? Make sure to have a chat with us when you're about to go on the market. Why wouldn't you want to experience the same superb service as Michelle Clarke (pictured), one of our brilliant conveyancers, offered this clearly very happy client:

"As a first time buyer, what I ended up realising is that finding a good solicitor isn't a magic wand that would erase any problems and complications that arises during the complicated buying process, but it's knowing that they are responsive, knowledgeable, and trustworthy to solve these problems.

"I was really happy to have found Michelle Clarke as my solicitor during this process. I had initially opted for a cheaper option only to almost be scammed as no one was picking up for their phone, making mistakes on all their documents and charging extra for all basic services.

"I felt lucky having found KWW in this overwhelming process and I will be using them again in the future for any other purchase or resale."
