Meet With Us By Video Link
Like most other businesses, we have now closed our offices in Kingsbridge, Totnes, Plymouth and Bristol in compliance with the Government’s social distancing policy. However, all of our lawyers are able to work remotely and we are therefore able to ensure that we continue to provide a high level of service to all our clients.
We understand that not all matters can be dealt with satisfactorily by telephone or email and sometimes you will want to speak with us “face to face”. We are therefore very pleased to announce that we can now offer meetings with clients or prospective clients by video link using the video conferencing service Zoom.
If you would like to arrange a video conference with one of our lawyers please contact us to arrange this. If you are an existing client you should use the same contact details which you normally do. New clients should telephone us on 01548 855 655 or email kingsbridge@bartons.co.uk. We will then make arrangements with you for a video conference.
There are a few simple things you will need to do before you can take part in a Zoom video conference and we have set out below a guide to using Zoom.
