Why choose Max Engel?

In 1949 Max Engel established his solicitor’s practice in Northampton.

He rapidly achieved a remarkable local reputation: he was indomitable; he was skilful; he had an exceptional understanding of the law; he had total integrity. No-one worked harder for their clients.

The traditions of those early days still guide the firm, now under the leadership of Helen Carville and Sara Lawson. We remain small by choice and offer clients a rare degree of personal attention.

Thanks to our elite alliances with other professionals, we have access to specialist knowledge whenever it is needed. We act for clients all over the UK and help them work through their difficult problems, legal issues and transactions with an understanding but firm approach.
