Throughout May, the team at Clarkson Wright & Jakes took part in our Miles for May challenge in support of Queen Victoria Hospital Charity, our Charity of the Year.

Across the month, colleagues walked, ran, cycled and rowed the distances real patients travel to be treated at the hospital, covering an incredible number of miles and raising over £3,500!!

What started with an initial fundraising target of £1,000 quickly became something much bigger, and we are so proud of everyone who took part, donated, supported and helped keep the momentum going throughout the month.

A huge well done to all of our Miles for May participants, and a big thank you to everyone who supported the challenge. The funds raised will help Queen Victoria Hospital Charity continue its brilliant work supporting patients, families and staff.

Thank you, Linda, for two decades of hard work, expertise and loyalty. We are delighted to celebrate this milestone with you.

A well-handled property sale can make all the difference, especially when you are managing the process from overseas.

We recently supported a client with the sale of a family home in Orpington, providing clear communication and a seamless experience throughout:

“Pleasure working with Leah to sell a family home in Orpington. Living in Australia, I relied on prompt & clear communication with Leah - delivered perfectly. It was a seamless experience with CWJ and Leah Noyes. Thanks.”

Our Residential Property team understands how important it is to keep clients fully informed at every stage, particularly when distance makes communication even more vital.

If you are looking to sell your property, our team would be pleased to advise.

A serious brain injury can change every aspect of life in an instant. Alongside the physical and emotional impact, individuals and their families are often faced with difficult decisions about rehabilitation, care and financial security.

Our Personal Injury Team has extensive experience supporting people who have suffered a serious brain injury through no fault of their own. We understand that every case is deeply personal, which is why we take a caring and sensitive approach while helping clients access the compensation and support they need for the future.

We are also proud members of Headway, a charity that provides vital support, information and services to brain injury survivors and their families.

If you or a loved one would like advice or support, our team is here to help.
