This month, we’re focusing on guidance around divorce and separation.

September is often a busy period for divorce and separation enquiries, as the end of the summer holidays and the return to normal work and school routines can prompt people to take stock of their circumstances and consider what comes next.

If you are considering separation or divorce, having the right legal advice at an early stage can help you understand your options and make informed decisions about your future.

Our experienced, Resolution-accredited Family Law team provides clear, practical advice and takes a constructive and non-confrontational approach, helping you navigate the process with confidence.

🏡 Thinking of buying a new build? Read this before you sign on the dotted line!

Buying a brand-new home can be an exciting experience, but it’s important to remember that a new build doesn’t necessarily mean a straightforward purchase.

From reviewing the developer’s paperwork and checking the contract, to understanding completion dates, snagging issues, warranties and your rights if something doesn’t go according to plan, there are a number of important points to consider before committing to your new home.

🔑 Our latest blog by our Commercial and Residential Property Solicitor Chris Heale looks at some of the key legal considerations when buying a new build property — and why getting the right legal advice early can make all the difference.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an experienced homeowner, our guide is well worth a read before you exchange contracts.

If you’re buying a new build and have questions about the legal process, our team is here to help.

Buying a New Build. There is always something exciting about buying a house. There is especially something exciting about buying a new house.

We recently welcomed Anna Cort, a Law student at the University of Bristol, to FMT for two weeks of work experience.

During her placement, Anna spent time across our different departments, gaining first-hand experience of life in a law firm, sitting in on client meetings and developing practical skills alongside our team.

Following her placement, we caught up with Anna to hear what she learned, which areas of law particularly interested her and how the experience has shaped her plans for a future career as a solicitor.

Read Anna’s full work experience interview here:

Anna joined us for work experience in August 2026, spending time with our team and gaining insight into working within a law firm.

The case of Rachel Fulstow has returned to the media headlines following new coverage in the Daily Mail. Fulstow is serving a 30-year minimum term under the law of joint enterprise, despite being around 100 miles away at the time of the attack. Her conviction is now the subject of a renewed challenge, with her legal team arguing that evidence concerning coercive and controlling behaviour within her relationship with Michael Hillier was not fully heard by the jury.

Jeremy Moore, solicitor and director at FMT, features in the article and is currently assisting the client with a detailed review of the case. He also recently discussed the case in the BBC documentary Killer Couple: Love on Trial.
