🎉 Congratulations to Georgia Jones! 🎉

We're proud to share that Georgia Jones, Partner and Head of Commercial Property at Bright Solicitors, has been named a finalist in the Fearless Leader category at The Notty's 2026 Awards.

With more than 800 nominations received for The Notty's, and only five finalists selected for this category, this is a fantastic achievement and a fitting recognition of Georgia's leadership, dedication and impact.

Nominated by Jasmine Keeble, a Solicitor within Bright's Commercial Property team, Georgia was recognised for her collaborative and supportive approach to leadership, her commitment to developing colleagues, and her ability to inspire others to step outside their comfort zones and succeed.

Since joining Bright in 2021, Georgia has led the continued growth of our Commercial Property team, helping colleagues progress their careers while driving excellence for clients. Her leadership has also been instrumental in the team's Legal 500 success and growing reputation across the South West.

Our Managing Partner, Julie Milton, said:

"Georgia's place as a finalist is thoroughly deserved. She leads with professionalism, integrity and an unwavering commitment to helping others succeed. We are incredibly proud to see her recognised among the region's leading business figures."

Congratulations, Georgia. We wish you every success at the awards in November! 👏

Five Things Every Homeowner Should Do Before Putting Their House on the Market 🏡

Thinking of selling your home? A little preparation now can help avoid delays and reduce stress later.

✅ 1. Instruct your solicitor early
Don't wait until you find a buyer. Getting your solicitor involved from the outset means legal paperwork can be prepared in advance.

✅ 2. Gather important documents
Find guarantees, warranties, certificates and other key paperwork before your property goes on the market.

✅ 3. Check paperwork for any alterations
Extensions, new windows, loft conversions or other works may need supporting documents such as planning permissions or certificates.

✅ 4. Address any potential issues early
Boundary queries, rights of way, parking arrangements or historic disputes are often easier to resolve before a buyer is found.

✅ 5. Prepare your property information
Forms relating to the property, fixtures and fittings can take time to complete, so getting started early can save pressure later.

At Bright Solicitors, our Residential Property team can help you get sale-ready from day one, helping to reduce delays, minimise stress and keep your move on track.

Thinking of selling? Get in touch with our team and make your next move with confidence.

⭐ Client Feedback ⭐

A huge well done to Summer, Tiffany and our specialist Investment Property team on this fantastic review.

Our dedicated team helps investors, landlords and property owners with investment purchases, remortgages, portfolio transactions and other specialist property matters, providing clear advice and responsive support throughout.

Here's what one client had to say:

"We cannot thank Summer, Tiffany and the entire team at Bright Solicitors enough for the exceptional support they provided throughout our remortgage. Our case involved a number of additional requirements and, with us being based overseas, communication and timing were especially important. The team was incredibly professional, responsive and proactive at every stage.

They kept everything moving, explained each requirement clearly and were always available when we needed assistance. What impressed us most was how much genuine care and attention they gave to getting the matter completed as smoothly and quickly as possible.

We deal with many professional firms through our business, and the level of service we received here genuinely stood out. Efficient, knowledgeable, reassuring and an absolute pleasure to deal with

A huge thank you to everyone involved. We would recommend Bright Solicitors without hesitation and will certainly use them again in the future. Five-star service in every respect."

Thank you for your kind words. We are delighted we could help and will be sure to pass your feedback on to the team.

Great to welcome Kim Downer, Deputy CEO & Business Liaison Manager for Plymouth Waterfront Partnership to Bright today.

Our Managing Partner, Julie Milton, and Marketing Executive, Jo Cann, enjoyed a positive and productive conversation about the upcoming BID fourth-term vote, the support available to businesses across Plymouth's waterfront, and how we can continue working together to strengthen our local business community.

We also shared details of Bright's forthcoming 20th anniversary and explored opportunities for collaboration in the years ahead. Importantly, we discussed ways Bright can help raise awareness of the valuable initiatives and support offered by the Plymouth Waterfront Partnership among our colleagues, clients and wider stakeholder network.

Strong partnerships play an important role in helping Plymouth thrive, and we look forward to continuing the conversation.

Celebrating one year of Bright’s Commercial & Corporate Law team

It has been one year since Bright launched its specialist Commercial & Corporate Law team, led by Senior Associate Serena Frost with support from Paralegal Alice Barrow.

The team was introduced after we recognised a growing need for accessible, commercially focused legal advice for owner-managed and privately owned businesses. Over the past 12 months, Serena and Alice have supported clients across a range of sectors with sales, acquisitions and mergers, company formations and restructures, shareholder agreements, commercial contracts, and succession and exit planning.

They have also built strong relationships with local businesses and fellow professionals as the team continues to grow its presence in the commercial legal market.

Reflecting on their first year, Serena and Alice said:

“We’re proud to be celebrating one year of our Commercial & Corporate Team. Everyone at Bright has been incredibly friendly and supportive, and as a result, we’ve been able to achieve a great deal over the last 12 months, with lots more to come!”

“We’ve worked hard to develop the team and strengthen our position in the market, and we’re excited to see where we’ll be this time next year.”

Congratulations to Serena and Alice on this important milestone. We look forward to seeing what the next year brings.
