Our History
Report
When Matthew Brettenham Kingsbury established the firm back in 1790, he could not have envisaged that the partnership would become the modern, sophisticated and successful one that it is today.
In 1908 Percy Jeans Sprake, grandfather of today's senior partner, David Sprake, joined the practice, taking it over in 1912.
Percy's brother, Geoffrey Guy Sprake, joined him in 1920 and later their sons, John Humphrey Sprake and Austin Sprake, entered the firm.
In 1974, Richard Hughes became a partner with John Sprake, David Sprake's father, and the firm became known as Sprake & Hughes.

Estate Administration
Report
The period immediately after a person dies is often a distressing and confusing time.
Along with making the funeral arrangements, the family then has to face the prospect of administering the estate.
Financial institutions and other organisations will usually only release funds when they have a formal Grant of Representation appointing Personal Representatives to deal with the estate.
This is a Court order issued to the Executor (if there is a Will) or the Administrator (in the case of an intestacy).

Family Law
Report
Family life is increasingly varied and complicated.
Whatever your family law needs might be, we understand that you want an adviser who can handle your situation with the utmost care and sensitivity with services tailored to meet your specific needs.
Before getting married or entering into a civil partnership, a couple will often look to protect their wealth and assets by means of a Pre-Marital/Pre-Nuptial or Pre-Civil Partnership Agreement.
This is particularly the case for a second or subsequent marriage.
