April King

April King Legal is a leading law firm in private client law. With over 30 years of experience, April King continues to go from strength to strength with over 40,000 clients served across the UK. Led by a STEP qualified practitioner, their dedicated team of solicitors, chartered legal executives and other specialist lawyers provide practical, realistic and affordable ‘big picture’ legal solutions without legal jargon.

The firm is perhaps best known for its unique approach to will drafting which wholeheartedly rejects the standard mirror will narrative. Its innovative solutions provide more protection for client’s wealth for future generations. Wider consideration is given of the client’s circumstances, dealing with matters outside the scope of simply making a will such as business continuity and succession, and whether their estate is safe from future claims. This approach ensures the client’s goals are brought into effect in the long term, whatever changes life may bring.

Offering far more than the generalist high street one-stop law shops, the April King Legal team have specialist knowledge across a range of legal areas including Wills; Lasting Power of Attorney and Court of Protection Deputy applications; a full range of Probate services and assistance with contesting a Will; together with Inheritance Tax matters, Digital Assets and Business Succession. Its holistic approach to estate planning provides a much better level of protection that every client deserves for the future without sacrificing control over their assets.

April King’s commitment to excellence in client care continues to remain at the heart of the firm. Shaping its business strategy around client needs and feedback, its lawyers take instructions at a time and place to suit the client, be it their home address or one of a whole network of locations across the country. The majority of its services are carried out on a fixed-fee basis with additional visits included in this structure for peace of mind. In addition, the firm builds in added value with free amendments for the first year. April King’s reviews are outstanding and a testament to its client-first approach.

Adopting a full range of modern technology, it accommodates its clients by meeting and communication in whatever way they feel most comfortable. Whether conducting a meeting through FaceTime, catching up through Zoom or simply staying updated via email, the firm adapts to the client and their personal circumstances.

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of April King’s practice, recognised by CILEX in 2018 when the firm was a finalist for its coveted diversity award. It employs lawyers from all backgrounds and recognises the individuality of each lawyer as an advantage and a competitive edge over other firms. The firm invests heavily in its lawyers, delivering outstanding training both in-house, externally and via up-to-date technology. This continued investment in professional development ensures every member of the legal team is up-to-date with the latest legal developments and decisions, putting the team in the strongest possible position to offer its clients clear, accurate advice and leadership in respect of their hard-earned assets.
