Max Engel Solicitors
Guests help law fi rm mark a momentous occasion
As a fi rm that is still going strong 75 years on, Max Engel Solicitors was proud to welcome staff clients and professional colleagues both from years gone by and the present day, to celebrate a momentous occasion and to look forward to continued success. The evening of September 12 saw a large and happy
crowd gather at 78 Derngate, the renowned Charles Rennie Mackintosh house in Northampton, for the 75th anniversary celebrations, with several travelling a considerable distance to be there. As well as a guided tour of the house, guests were
able to enjoy a look back over the firm’s history and hear about the key contributors to Max Engel Solicitors’ success over the years. Max Engel founded the business in 1949 in an attic
space office overlooking Northampton’s Market Square, moving in 1956 to the office in Hazelwood Road, where the firm remains to this day.
The practice has, over the years, adapted, expanded
and modernised to meet the needs of its clients, many of whom have returned to the legal team many times over the years, in some cases through generations of the same families. Its central focus has switched from criminal law to property and commercial law, but the principles established by Max Engel remain the same. Over that period many of the firm’s competitors, including many who boast a longer vintage, have merged or closed or changed their names, so it is with pride that the firm retains its original name and ethos. Max remained an associate with the firm until his
death in 2005 aged 93, by which time he had been practising law for 67 years. Max’s son Richard Engel joined the firm as an articled clerk in 1968 and became a Senior Partner in 1980. The anniversary celebrations included a look
forward to the future as the firm remains committed to empowering its staff to provide innovation and excellence for clients.
