Richard Engel, a graduate of Sheffield University, qualified in 1970 after Articles (Training Contract) with Max Engel. After a couple of years learning adversarial skills attending Magistrates Courts throughout the county he spent a lot of time dealing with residential conveyancing, which was the mainstay of the Practice in the 1970s. In the latter half of that decade business law started to burgeon with the development of photocopiers and quicker communications by fax. Since then Richard’s time was spent dealing mostly with business matters but his expertise in conveyancing was put to good use in what has become his main specialisation, dealing with commercial property. He has wide experience of commercial matters enabling him to advise small and medium sized enterprises on all aspects of business activities.

He is still a believer in the old fashioned concept of the Solicitor as a “man of affairs” to whom the private or business client can turn as a first (and usually only) port of call to resolve issues which would otherwise require three or four people from specialised teams.

Richard has celebrated over 35 years marriage to Liz and they have a son and two daughters who live and work in London visiting Northampton frequently (if the sun is shining and Mum is cooking). He also has the most beautiful granddaughter in the world!
