The Taylor&Emmet team celebrate the opening of their new office
Rotherham law firm in launch of drop-in sessions
Taylor&Emmet LLP is opening the doors of its new Rotherham office to local residents needing initial advice about family law matters. The firm’s experts in childcare and family
law are holding free drop-in sessions at their High Street premises in the town centre every Tuesday from 11am to 2pm. Visitors are invited to call into
Taylor&Emmet’s office for confidential guidance on a wide range of matters, including divorce and separation, domestic abuse, care proceedings and adoption. Dawn Lowry, Taylor&Emmet’s Rotherham-
‘We hope local people will be encouraged to seek our
assistance’
based family law specialist and qualified mediator, said: “If you are trapped in an abusive relationship or social services are involved with your
family, it can be difficult to take the first step and ask for help. By holding these informal drop-in surgeries, we hope local people will be encouraged to seek our assistance. We can explain your legal position and put you in touch with other agencies that provide vital support.” Taylor&Emmet’s newest office
opened in Rotherham recently with in- house residential conveyancing and family law teams. The firm’s full range of business and personal legal services are accessible, however, as space is available for members of other
departments to meet clients by appointment.

“Rachel’s commitment to her clients and outstanding customer service exemplifies the values of HSR Law. Her rise from Trainee to Equity Partner has been amazing to watch and is thoroughly deserved.” Ms Cooke said: “I look
forward to continuing to expand our residential conveyancing teams with new clients, referrers, and staff. Exciting times are ahead.” Solicitor Amy Kavanagh has
joined the residential conveyancing team out of the Doncaster office. Ms Kavanaugh graduated from the University of Derby in 2014 and was employed as a Solicitor in a Sheffield firm. Managing Partner Fabian
Braithwaite said: “We recruited Amy because of her work ethic and ambition. Her dedication to her clients and her professionalism make her one to watch in the years ahead.” HSR Law Solicitors have
offices in Doncaster, Gainsborough and Epworth.
Workers advised to check their payslips
Thirty per cent of people wrongly believe that only workers in permanent roles are entitled to the National Living Wage/Minimum Wage, a poll has revealed. The study of 2001 people, conducted by Kantar for
the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, also found women (12%) were over twice as likely as men (five per cent) to not query pay with their employer. In the wake of legislation introduced on 8 April, which meant all workers are entitled to a
payslip, and following the National Living Wage/Minimum Wage increase, Government is calling on all workers to check their payslip to make sure they are being paid the right amount. John Palmer, Senior Adviser at ACAS (pictured),
said: “Workers should check their payslips to ensure they are getting paid at the new national minimum or living wage rates. “Employers are breaking the law if they don't pay
the national minimum or living wage and face a maximum fine of £20,000 per worker for not paying.”
