    Sandie Deitsch

    I retired in 2016 after running my own solicitors practice for over 50 years.

     

    I trained in London`s West End with a highly respected Jewish solicitor where I received invaluable training in all areas of the law. Immediately after qualifying I set up my own practice in the West End of London. Three years after qualification I moved my practice to Richmond where I continued to practise until I retired.

     

    The practice was extremely busy, and I covered initially all areas of law with the exception of crime and administration of deceased estates. My client base comprised a wide range of clientele from a well-known German automobile company, foreign royalty several rock-stars and actors to the usual range of people needing legal assistance both domestic and commercial.

    In the early days of practice, I covered litigation divorce and domestic property. As time passed matters became increasingly specialised and in my later years I concentrated on commercial as well as domestic property transactions as well as general business advice.
