A celebratory luncheon was held by the partners at the Saffron Walden office, and staff from our other offices attended. Christina was presented with gifts and good wishes.
Christina has successfully helped hundreds of clients move home (some on more than one or two occasions), following her departure this work will be carried out by Richard Tallon, a senior and specialist residential conveyancing solicitor, who has been with the firm since January.
The partners and staff will miss Christina, and wish her a very happy retirement.
