Max David Engel qualified as a solicitor in 1938. He set up an office in London but within a year the war broke out and he volunteered for service in the RAF. He won his pilot's wings and became a flight lieutenant. The winds of war eventually blew him and his family towards Northampton, where he met a local solicitor Bunny Douglas, and joined his practice for a time before setting up on his own in 1949 in an attic off the Market Square.
We act for a large range of clients who face varied legal issues. So whether your problem is personal or business related we have experienced professionals who can help guide you through. Authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA ID: 389678).

Moving from one home to another can be an emotionally and physically draining process. We at Max Engel understand how important it is that this process is dealt with as efficiently and sympathetically as possible. We therefore do not try to cut corners. We aim to offer all our clients an effective and personal service.
We encourage every client to make a Will and to review their existing Wills to make sure that they still meet their needs and are still effective in the ever-changing legal world. In your Will you should specify who you would like to deal with your estate after your death and how you would like it to be distributed.
The process of dealing with the affairs of someone who has died is the administration of their estate. Most commonly, where the deceased left a Will, this will involve taking out Probate which is the evidence of the Executors' authority to deal with the deceased's assets and liabilities. If the deceased did not leave a valid Will, their estate will be dealt with according to the Intestacy Rules.

Our family company has received excellent service from Sara Lawson @ Max Engel over the last 8 months or so. Sara has acted for us in relation to a lease renewal and the sale of some development land. In both cases, the solicitors on the otherside were not the easiest to deal with but Sara kept her cool (when her clients were starting to lose theirs!) & persevered to achieve the outcome we wanted.
Very level headed with lots of common sense and considerable experience of complex property transactions, Sara is a breath of fresh air to deal with. Increasingly these days we find solicitors trying
