👀 You know conveyancing. But do you know us?

Working in conveyancing means managing deadlines, paying attention to the smallest details, juggling priorities and enjoying the satisfaction of helping people move forward.

But when it comes to your next career move, it's not just about what you do. It's also about where you do it, who you work alongside and whether you can see yourself growing there.

At Martin Tolhurst Solicitors, we are looking for an experienced Conveyancing Legal Secretary to join our Sittingbourne team.

We are an established Kent law firm, but there's much more to discover beyond the name on the door! A supportive team, opportunities to develop your career and a chance to bring your experience to a busy conveyancing department where your contribution matters.

That's what our "More Than You Might Expect" series is all about: showing you the people, the opportunities and the working environment behind the job title.

Same expertise. A new opportunity.

📋 Got a performance appraisal coming up? Here is why a little preparation goes a long way!

Let's face it, performance appraisals aren't always something we look forward to. But they can be a fantastic opportunity to recognise how far you've come, discuss your goals and plan your next steps.

Whether you are preparing for your first appraisal or you've been through plenty before, knowing what to expect and what you want to get out of the conversation can make all the difference.

💡 In our Junior Lawyer Blog, we share helpful advice on preparing for a performance appraisal and making the most of this important career conversation.

Don't leave it until the last minute! Read our guide and get ready for your next appraisal:

👶🏼 National Adoption Week (19th - 25th October 2026)

Adoption can offer a child the security, stability and care of a permanent family, but we understand that taking those first steps can feel overwhelming.

If you are considering adoption, it's natural to have questions about where to begin, what the process involves and what happens along the way.

At Martin Tolhurst Solicitors, our friendly Family Law team can help you navigate the legal aspects of adoption with understanding and care.

To mark National Adoption Week, we have put together a helpful guide that explains the UK adoption process step by step.

🏡 Living together for 10 years? 20 years? Even longer?

You might be surprised to learn that, legally, it does not make you married.

The idea of a 'common law marriage' is one of the most persistent legal myths in England and Wales, and believing it could have serious consequences for your home, finances and future.

So, what actually happens if you separate? What if your partner dies without a Will? And how can you make sure you are both protected?

Our very own Richard Salvidge explains what unmarried couples need to know and why a little planning now can make a big difference later.

🌈 We might need a little extra laundry detergent after this one! 😂

Last Saturday, colleagues and their families swapped their usual routines for a Charity Colour Run in support of Dandelion Time, our Charity of the Year. There was colour flying everywhere, plenty of laughter and some very colourful outfits by the end of it!

But the best part? We raised £1,688, which our partners have doubled to £3,376! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, helped organise the event or supported our fundraising. It was lovely to see colleagues and their families come together, have fun and raise money for a great cause.

Scroll through for some of our favourite moments from the day. Just maybe do not wear your best white T-shirt to the next one! 😉

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that how we feel matters.

Working in law can be demanding, and life outside work can bring its own challenges, too. Some days we feel on top of the world; other days, simply getting through the day is an achievement in itself. And that is okay.

At Martin Tolhurst Solicitors, we believe looking after our people means recognising that everyone has their own challenges, and making sure they feel valued, listened to and supported when they need it most.

Today, take a moment to check in with yourself and the people around you. Ask a colleague how they are really doing, make time for a conversation, or simply show someone a little kindness. You never know how much it might mean. 💚
