Divorce is one of the Top 3 most stressful life events for anyone who goes through it. However, if you add into the equation a business interest that you need to protect that can make matters even more complicated.

The Excellence In Client Care award is judged on how the firm operates in the best interests of the client and embeds a culture of excellence. Each entry has been scrutinised by a judging panel made up of industry experts to establish the shortlist, with the winners announced live on 25th January at a black tie event in Bristol.

“To be shortlisted in this category exemplifies what we strive for at BSG – delivering the very best service for our clients and achieving successful outcomes.
We are delighted to receive this recognition and to be shortlisted against some of the largest firms in the country shows that we are able to provide clients in Lancashire the very highest level of expertise and experience across the full range of family law services.”
BSG Complete Dare2Dip Challenge!
A team of intrepid adventurers from BSG Solicitors have successfully completed the Dare2Dip Challenge in aid of CancerCare.
This year marks CancerCare’s 40th Anniversary and they asked businesses and individuals to show their support by taking the plunge into some very cold water! BSG decided to make this challenge a little harder and combine this with one of Grunnill Fitness’ adventure trails before immersing themselves in a tarn at the top of a hill in the Lake District.
Partner Rebecca Lauder commented:
“It was an amazing experience and a wonderful opportunity to show our support for a charity that holds special significance for us at BSG Solicitors.
A huge thank you to Emma Grunnill for guiding us through warm-up activities and leading the trail before our icy dip. The walk beforehand, coupled with finishing in the dark, definitely added to the challenge.
Emma Edwards, Partner at BSG Solicitors and a Trustee at CancerCare added:
“The services and support provided by CancerCare across South Cumbria and North Lancashire are invaluable to people coping with cancer diagnosis or bereavement. The vast majority of funding comes from public donations and I’m delighted we’ve been to show our support and Dared2Dip!
Of course it would all be nothing if it wasn’t for the wonderful people who have donated to our fundraising efforts, we really are so grateful to them. Thank you also to everyone at BSG Solicitors, not only those who took part but everyone who donated, provided much needed encouragement and shared our social media posts.”
BSG Solicitors Dare2Dip
We are delighted to be taking part in the Dare2Dip Challenge supporting CancerCare.
This year CancerCare have asked us to take the plunge, get out of our comfort zones and into some very chilly water! Whilst there are lots of ways people can take part in this fund-raising activity, we thought as desk dwellers we would up the ante and take on one of Grunnill Fitness’ adventure trails, before submerging ourselves in a tarn at the top of a hill. To make this even harder we are starting our adventure at the end of the day on Friday 17th November as light falls and finishing in the dark.
With the assistance of personal trainer Emma Grunnill, who was recently placed 3rd in Natural World’s strongest woman, we will be warming up before embarking on our walk and then bracing ourselves for a fresh dip in the tarn.
Rebecca Lauder, Partner commented:
“As soon as we heard about Dare2Dip we knew we were up to the challenge. We briefly discussed ice baths in the office car park but thought we could make this even tougher. CancerCare is a brilliant charity which is close to our hearts at BSG Solicitors, one of my business partners, Emma Edwards, is on the board of trustees and we’re always keen to show our support.”
This year marks CancerCare’s 40th Anniversary. Over the last four decades, they have helped tens of thousands of people find the strength to face the future after the devastation of a cancer diagnosis or death of a loved one. It costs nearly £2m each year to provide free professional therapy to local people and more than 90% of this comes from public donations.
