About Us

The firm was established in October 1985 when three friends met in a café and decided to create “Carter Govier Read”. Stephen Dove joined the firm in 1988. Chris Govier left in 1992. The firm was then re-branded “Carter Read & Dove, Solicitors". Since the firm was established, it has developed into a specialist practice, providing services to both private and commercial clients.

 

The firm consists of five fee-earners [two partners, two solicitors and a conveyancing executive], a legal cashier, five support staff, and two senior temps that we will not allow to retire! The firm is fully committed to using IT to help maintain an efficient office and encourage the use of email wherever possible. Using our integrated computerised client information database, we endeavour to keep clients fully informed of the progress of their files.

 

Our Conveyancing Department makes full use of the Internet with online search companies and the Land Registry, enabling us to cut down search times and speed up the process of moving.
