This week marked , a national campaign raising awareness and encouraging action to support people living with dementia and their families.

At Debenhams Ottaway, we’re proud that members of our team are trained Dementia Friends, helping us better understand the challenges dementia can bring and how small changes to the way we work, can make a meaningful difference.

Our commitment to support extends far beyond this one week. As trusted legal advisers who guide clients and families throughout every stage of life, we prioritise empathy, understanding, and awareness in all that we do. Dementia Action Week serves as a reminder of our ongoing dedication to creating a more inclusive and supportive environment year-round.

To further champion this cause, Court of Protection specialist Lucy Hollands has addressed some of the most frequently asked questions about the Court of Protection and the support we offer to vulnerable individuals, including those affected by dementia.

The arrival of spring is the perfect reminder to get your personal affairs in order. Making or updating your Will ensures your wishes are protected and putting LPAs in place mean the people you trust can act for you when you aren’t able to.

This is just one step of our legal spring clean checklist to help you get things done and feel accomplished.

This week is – a valuable reminder to pause, check in with ourselves and those around us and recognise that our mental health matters every day.
Thanks to our fantastic Social Impact Team, we’re marking the week with the launch of our ‘grow your own’ sunflower competition for colleagues across our St Albans and Radlett offices. 🌻

Like our physical health, mental health is something we need to invest in continuously, and often it’s the small, simple actions that can make the biggest difference. And much like growing a sunflower, it’s a reminder that with consistency, care and patience, positive growth will follow – whether in the garden or in our own wellbeing.

Stay tuned for updates over the coming weeks as the sunflower competition blooms. ☀️

Our End of Financial year celebration brought together all teams across both offices to reflect on the past year, celebrate our achievements, and recognise the collective effort behind them.
It was an important moment to pause, look back at what we’ve delivered as one team, and look ahead with confidence to what’s next.

Days like this remind us that our success is built on collaboration, commitment and shared ambition.

We’re always looking for great people to join us – take a look at our current opportunities:

Strong international relationships are key to supporting our clients and last week our team focussed exactly on that.

Susan and Andrew attended the Eurojuris Practice Days in Cambridge with lawyers from all over Europe sharing insights, building connections and exploring the latest developments in cross-border legal practice as part of our trusted international network.

Meanwhile, Alexander was in Budapest at the R3 Annual Conference, engaging with fellow insolvency specialists on key issues including restructuring policy, innovation and best practice.

We look forward to attending further international events throughout 2026 to continue enhancing the service we deliver to clients.

If your business or assets have a cross-border element, get in touch with Susan, Andrew or Alexander to find out how our international expertise can support you.

Spring is a good time for a commercial spring clean 🌱

If selling your business has been on the “maybe someday” list, now is the time to check whether you’re actually sale ready. Buyers pay a premium for businesses that are well organised, transparent and easy to understand.

Even if a sale is 12–24 months away, a little preparation now can make a big difference later – whether you’re planning a full exit, a partial sale, or simply keeping your options open.
If a deal is on the horizon this year (or next), consider this your prompt to start the conversation.
