April King > Firm Profile
April King is a leading law firm in private client law. With almost 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 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.
With the recent Covid-19 outbreak, the firm has adapted its working practices, continuing to offer quality legal services through challenging times. 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.

TESTIMONIAL: Both Personal Client Advisors James and Caitlin has greatly helped us on our journey, our minds and spirits were put at ease, as we had lots of questions. By the time we did our research we were ready to do business with April King, we wanted to do our Trust Wills and 2 Lasting powers of attorney. Caitlin is excellent in handling our needs and taking our instructions while explaining the legal jargon when it comes to signing our wills and was very methodical in the proper procedure for the signing of the LPAs. We liked the April King literature we received plus the home visits, as we felt uninhibited to ask questions however simple. Caitlin in taking our instructions is superb and also in explaining again the process of both the Trust wills and the procedure of registering the LPAs.
We look forward to the completion of the LPA x2 . Thank you April King staff, Paul King and Caitlin. Two friends have already taken April Kings phone number.
