Update on Gotelee’s operations
Earlier this year, we announced we were joining Mezzle, an international law firm made up of senior lawyers with deep expertise in a broader range of legal practice areas than we have traditionally provided.
What does this mean for you?
You now have access to a broader range of expertise and practice areas to assist with your legal needs. Over time, you will notice a brand transition from Gotelee Solicitors to Mezzle but your day-to-day client experience will remain the same.
Mezzle’s innovative approach to legal practise ensures clients receive exceptional service from highly skilled lawyers every step of the way. The Gotelee lawyer you trust to handle your legal matters will continue to do so and your terms of engagement with us will remain in place under Mezzle.
What will change?
This exciting step forward in the evolution of our firm and comes with the following changes:
- We are shifting to a more remote and flexible working model to foster greater work-life balance for our staff.
- To facilitate in-person interaction with our clients as needed, we will maintain an office footprint, but on a smaller scale. Our main office on Elm Street in Ipswich was closed earlier this year and relocated to a modern office space down the road. Currently our Hadleigh office space is being reviewed but any clients associated with that office will continue to be served remotely and at our offices in Ipswich, Felixstowe or Woodbridge.. We will also continue to offer home visits as we always have done.
- This reduced office space has also meant, we’ve got reduced storage capacity for documents and wills.
- Consequently, the care and conduct of all historic wills (those made before 1 September 2024) have been transferred to our trusted partner, Right Legal Group, a regulated and respected national law firm specialising in Wills and Probate. They have started to get in contact with clients individually, under the trading name of Simpson Solicitors, to confirm the safe keeping of their Will. You can contact Right Legal Group on Phone: 01473 875142 or E-mail: customersupport@rightlegalgroup.com
- Deeds and other documents that have previously been held in our office storage are being relocated to secure off-site storage. Rest assured, these documents remain under our care and we can access them on your behalf at any time.
- Over time, you will notice a gradual brand integration where you will begin to see the Mezzle brand in the places you see the Gotelee brand today (i.e. letterhead, e-mail domains, etc.)
Going forward, we value your custom and you can expect the same commitment and dedication to our clients that has always guided our team and our business, and we’re excited to be able to offer an expanded range of legal services to you.
