## From the administrators' statement

On 1 July 1985 a single partnership of 5 partners was formed from 3 existing practices, Coopers (established 1760s), Adnan Carter & Co (established 1980) and Chas J Odhams (established 1950)

The partnership traded from offices in Eastbourne & Hailsham and the firm then known as Cooper Carter & Odhams traded successfully until the downturn of the late 1980s and early 1990s in an effort to build the business the partnership took in the firm of Claremont & Co in 1991 however this was not a success and by 1996 it had become necessary to take steps to reduce costs The Eastboume property was sold at a loss of approximately £65,000 and the practice continued to trade from Hailsham as Cooper Carter Claremont Solicitors

Shortly after, a partner and key fee eamer left to go to one of the partnership’s major chents in Hailsham to be their in-house legal department. The partnership continued to trade with 4 partners until three of the partners (2 being of retirement age) decided to withdraw from the partnership They paid £140,000 to obtain their release from their liabilities associated with the partnership which assisted the business’s short term position Adnan Carter became the sole principal
