We cannot stress too highly the importance of making a Will. Family and personal relationships are now more complex than ever and the absence of a Will can cause significant problems and put the interests of both the immediate family and any business connections at risk. We encourage all our clients to make a Will so that proper arrangements can be made, avoiding unnecessary expense, for those who survive us on our death.
Health & Safety issues are relevant in every workplace, and are particularly prominent where the risks are higher, for instance where dangerous substances are handled or where there is heavy machinery or working at heights. At Fergusson Law we believe prevention is better than cure and we are able to offer up front, simple and comprehensive advice to enable you to comply with Health & Safety Legislation.

Fergusson Law is delighted to offer a range of cost-effective fixed price legal services for our private client services.
