Jackson Lees Group has been saddened by the untimely death of Lynda Parris, who worked at Broudie Jackson Canter for more than 40 years. Lynda's journey with us began when she was just 17 starting as an office junior and quickly proving herself to be an invaluable asset to our firm. As she progressed through the ranks our team witnessed her evolve into an excellent Senior Immigration Caseworker. Lynda's career spanned several decades, during which she represented hundreds of clients, from asylum seekers to trafficking victims and those hoping to reunite with their families. Her work in legal aid and immigration was not just a job but a calling, driven by a deep compassion and a determination to make a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable and marginalised. Lynda's untimely passing has left a void in our firm, but her legacy of compassion, dedication, and unwavering support for others will continue to inspire us. We will always remember Lynda with gratitude and affection, honouring the incredible legacy she leaves behind. Our thoughts and sympathies are with her family, especially her daughter Rachel, who continues to work with us. Andrew Holroyd, Head of Risk & Compliance at Jackson Lees Group and Jacqueline Mason, Head of Immigration at Broudie Jackson Canter, share more words here: https://ow.ly/MwYV50Uu7rM

Anyone who reaches the milestone of doing the same job for 50 years has undoubtedly lived through massive changes and will have many tales to tell. When you have survived 50 years as a solicitor in Liverpool that is certainly true. On 2nd December 2024 Andrew Holroyd will have been on the roll of solicitors for 50 years. Andrew is fond of telling stories of his early legal career when articled to Stuart Christie at Alsop Stevens Batesons DLA Piper. There are tales of arresting ships and being given a lesson in litigation by the legendary E Rex Makin. Andrew’s passion, even in 1974 as a newly qualified solicitor, was not going to be satisfied by commercial law. He tells me that he had seen this law firm in Toxteth, Jackson & Canter that he liked the look of, the sort of place where he could make a difference. He knocked on the door and asked for a job only to be told that none was available! If you know Andrew you know that he does not give up easily. In the summer of 1975, Philip Canter and Howard Jackson saw sense and got in touch. An “interview” was held one morning in a very shabby office at 62 Dale Street. Across the desk was Howard supporting a very bushy beard, behind mounds of dog-eared papers. The first question was to ask if he would care for a tot of Jamesons whiskey. The next was to ask about his footballing preference and the “bluish” leanings fitted him perfectly for the job. The rest, as they say, is history. Over the years as a partner in Jackson & Canter he was instrumental in creating a law firm committed to those areas of practice which touched the lives of the most disadvantaged in society. Immigration became a particular speciality and working with the Somali shopkeepers in Toxteth meant he was truly embedded in the community. The firm which now trades under the name Jackson Lees Group is part of the MAPD group – a group of law firms across the country. Andrew is one of those responsible for compliance, bringing his vast experience and expertise to the next generation of lawyers and making sure that the highest standards are maintained. In his career Andrew has been President of Liverpool Law Society, President of The Law Society England and Wales, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire for services to #LegalAid and then later the Commander of the British Empire. He could call himself “Dr” Holroyd as he holds an honorary doctorate and could have also called himself Canon as he was a lay canon of Liverpool Cathedral. That he chooses not to do so is a measure of the man. Even after 50 years his passion for the law and making a difference is undimmed. His wisdom and guidance are available to all those who seek them. Not many will reach the heights he has reached but for all those of us who have worked with him and continue to do so we recognise that we are privileged. Congratulations Andrew on this amazing milestone – let’s hope there are many more adventures to come.

John E Jones , Director & Head of Residential Property & Wills, Trusts & Probate at Jackson Lees Group, has recently authored an article in the Autumn / Winter 2024 edition of Property & Home with Martin Roberts.

Drawing an analogy to a 17th-century samurai’s guide—no doubt, no surprise, no fear, no hesitation—John outlines what you need to look for when appointing a conveyancer for your dream property.
