COOPERBURNETT - YOUR SOLICITORS IN KENT

Established for nearly 40 years, Tunbridge Wells-based CooperBurnett is focused on building long-term relationships with our clients, based around excellent communication and high levels of service.

With expertise in Commercial Law and Private Law, our team comprises experienced and skilled professionals, many of whom have built strong regional reputations. We provide excellent, professional advice and deliver this in a friendly, straightforward manner.

COOPERBURNETT - CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Having been based in Tunbridge Wells for many years, we feel very much part of both the business landscape and the local community.

We proactively support the business community in West Kent and East Sussex. Victoria Sampson and Katie Gillam have both held the role of President of Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge & District Law Society; while Victoria has twice been President of West Kent Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Highlighting how we support our team in building their careers, CooperBurnett is the co-founder of Next Generation Networking (NGN) – a forum for future partners, directors and business owners to expand their professional contacts. Please contact Katie Hilsdon if you are interested in learning more about NGN.

We take pride in sharing our knowledge with the community at large – with our partners often submitting articles and papers, speaking at conferences and seminars, and appearing in the media.

COOPERBURNETT – HOW WE HELP

Each year our team at CooperBurnett selects a charity to support, and our charity committee – which consists of Katie Hilsdon, Gareth Warner and Lisa Connolly – drives the fundraising for the year. This has included five team members cycling from London to Paris in just 24 hours to raise money for Brain Tumour Research.

Our current charity of choice is Sands, which provides help and support to all those affected by the loss of a baby before, during or shortly after birth. It does this through a network of local groups, of which Tunbridge Wells Sands is one.

We also support:

• ellenor – offers 24-hour care in the home to children and young people facing terminal illness in our community and supports the whole family.

• Taylor-Made Dreams – enables children with life limiting illnesses to achieve their dreams, as well as sourcing and financially supporting empathetic therapeutic services.

• The Pickering Cancer Drop-In Centre – provides support to anyone touched by cancer.

A number of our team support local initiatives through volunteering. For example, Partner Gemma Gillespie volunteers for Citizens Advice Tunbridge Wells & District one afternoon each month, offering advice on family matters.

CooperBurnett is officially recognised by Kent County Council as a Dementia Friendly Business, one of the first in Tunbridge Wells to achieve this status. We are committed to making our business more dementia aware and dementia friendly wherever possible.
