BRAUND & FEDRICK The law firm Braund & Fedrick has been providing a professional service to its personal and business clients in South East London and North West Kent since it opened its doors in Woolwich in 1901. The firm’s founder, Mr Braund, was a mildly eccentric gentleman, who always wore a top hat and frock coat during working hours, and carried a silver-tipped cane. He was known colloquially as “the squeak of Woolwich” on account of his high-pitched voice and diminutive stature. Mr Braund was nevertheless widely respected as a learned and skilful lawyer, and soon built up a successful practice. Upon his retirement in the 1930s, the business was acquired by Norman Fedrick, an ambitious young solicitor, who had previously practised in Central London. Mr Fedrick continued to expand the practice, and the Sidcup branch of the firm was opened during the 1950s. The current office is located at 13 Market Parade in the High Street, and offers a wide range of legal services to clients, whether they are individuals or businesses. The services offered include commercial and domestic conveyancing, debt collection, landlord and tenant disputes, civil and commercial litigation, the preparation of wills, and the administration and winding up of the estates of deceased persons, commonly known as probate. Other areas of expertise include family and matrimonial, advising elderly clients, personal injury and medical negligence claims and employment law. Although the firm seeks to uphold the time-honoured and traditional values instilled by its founders, the solicitors and support staff have embraced new technology and modern working methods, and try hard to build an enduring relationship with clients.
