Whether you’re buying a property, writing a will or seeking family agreements, it pays to have a cool head by your side. That’s me - Nicola - co-founder of Hart Ford Solicitors, solving every legal issue around the biggest decisions of your life. My partner, Izabela, and I are the reliable hands you really need when emotions have to be underscored in black and white. I’ve always seen the best in people. But I’m also pretty straightforward; you have to be when oversights may hang in the background. Almost two decades in property law (with almost 15 years’ PQE) taught me the value of speaking plainly and honestly, so my clients can just get on with things. At Hart Ford we deliver expert conveyancing, family law, and wills and probate services wrapped around countless sensitive situations. Solving major risks - whether that’s in small print or a handshake - makes me happy. Even in my college days, I was keen on helping people from all walks of life, earning qualifications in Art & Design, Marketing and Management. Next, I earned a Business Administration degree before tackling Law & Legal Practice post-grad diplomas. All of this circled around what homes can mean to people. I know exactly what the perfect property represents for homeowners and businesses. Interiors - and the visions we have for them - really matter. When the legal stuff is tied in a bow, you can focus on bringing other parts of the project together: the handover, the contractors, which sofa screams ‘second bed!’ My job is to make your move, sale, remortgage or equity release a breeze. No-fuss. Nothing waiting to trip you up (especially the carpet). We couldn’t do this half as well without our crack team of lawyers. They’re amazing, and I’m glad they’re as flexible as we need them to be. Most of them have stuck with our firm since the beginning. Same with our key contacts, to be honest. And when I’m not chatting to them or hashing out client strategies, I’m spending time with my husband and three kids.
