Jane Propert is the owner of a Solicitor’s office, an Estate Agent firm, a business advisory company, and is also a Notary Public based in Chepstow, near Bristol, but has a very international client base.
Jane left the field of hospitality and venue ownership after a particularly nasty divorce, and decided to study law at Cambridge, and then went on to study to become a Notary. She used her experience gained in managing the hospitality business to try and create a business with a more client based approach. The studying took place whilst raising 4 children as a single mother, and working full time as a legal executive, so she is no stranger to stress and pressure.
Before becoming a solicitor Jane worked her way up from Chair of Governors at her local school and a governor to eight other schools, while being the Chair of the Monmouthshire Governors Association. She was also a founding Officer of Governor Wales, a national association providing help, advice and training for school governors. Jane co-wrote the first governor’s handbook, reported on white papers, and through her role on the education committee, regularly met with minsters to discuss education issues within Wales.
As a firm, Properts have extensive experience in large scale property developments, such as Gwent Europark, the acquisition of the Llanwern steel works, Celtic Springs, and the latest Celtic Manor development.
Their family practice offers services ‘from the cradle to the grave’, so that once they act, they provided continuity.
No matter your legal requirements, personal, family, or corporate, Jane should always be your first port of call for sensible, unbiased advice that does not come with a sales pitch!
As a Notary, Jane keeps abreast of conflicts of laws, as they are affect by Brexit and other foreign requirements. Jane deals with clients locally, nationally, and internationally. Her notary practice also has a specialist service for corporate clients that removed many of the standard delays.
