From the administrators' statement
Creditors should note that, unless otherwise stated, this section of my proposals has been prepared based on information provided to me by the directors of the Company and not from my personal knowledge as Administrator.
Richard Slade & Co was formed as a sole practitioner in 2008/9. The firm offered legal services, principally civil litigation. In 2016 the sole practitioner business was transferred to an incorporated entity into an existing limited company and retained the name, employees, and clients of the existing practice. Since 2016 the company has continued with civil litigation. The number of fee earners has varied, although settled at 8-10 over the past 3-4 years.
Richard Slade was a director of the Company, and also acted as Company Secretary. The Company traded from offices in Gray’s Inn Square, London.
