We were delighted to host our quarterly networking event at Potbank in Stoke-on-Trent, with a great turnout from across the local business community.

We would just like to thank the QUARTER at Potbank and show off this lovely venue. Everything was set and ready to go ahead of a busy evening, with a fantastic venue and plenty of pizza to keep everyone fuelled as the event filled with conversation, new connections, and familiar faces.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such an enjoyable and worthwhile event.

We always value the opportunity to bring people together. We’re already looking forward to the next one.

It was a pleasure to spend the evening with the UHNM Charity at Keele University the other night, celebrating 10 years of their pioneering work in surgical robotics. Hearing directly from surgeons and patients about the real, life-changing impact this technology has had was both fascinating and inspiring.

It’s remarkable to see how innovation in healthcare continues to transform outcomes and improve lives, and events like this are a powerful reminder of the people, stories, and dedication behind that progress.

Thank you to everyone involved for the warm welcome and for such an engaging evening, we were delighted to be part of the celebration.

With the Autumn Budget on the horizon, now is the time for business owners to take stock and plan ahead.

At RJS, we work closely with business owners to review structures, contracts, property and succession plans, identifying opportunities to protect and grow assets before any potential changes are introduced. From corporate and commercial property matters, through to estate planning and wealth protection, our team ensures you have a clear strategy in place for both your business and your family.

The Budget often brings new rules, but with the right advice you can stay one step ahead. If you’d like to discuss planning opportunities tailored to your circumstances, our team is here to support you.

The RJS Foundation was proud to support Tales in the Park this August, sponsoring storyteller Gav at Burslem Park.

This fantastic series of summer festivals, organised by the National Literacy Trust in partnership with Stoke-on-Trent Libraries and YMCA North Staffordshire, brings stories to life across our city’s parks. With storytelling, sports, crafts and circus skills the events inspire children to enjoy reading and encourage families to share stories together all year round. Every child also goes home with a free book.

It was a pleasure for our chair, Cllr Abi Brown to pop along and join in the fun. We’re delighted to have played a part in such a positive community event that celebrates creativity, learning and togetherness.

For business owners, planning ahead isn’t just about personal affairs , it’s about protecting your company too.

A Business Lasting Power of Attorney (Business LPA) allows you to appoint trusted individuals to make decisions on your behalf if you are ever unable to do so. Without one in place, even a temporary loss of capacity could leave your business unable to access bank accounts, sign contracts or keep day-to-day operations running.

The impact can be serious, financial loss, missed opportunities, and disruption for employees and clients alike. A Business LPA provides continuity, stability and peace of mind, safeguarding your company’s future.

Our team can guide you through the process and ensure your arrangements are tailored to your business needs.

We are delighted to share the launch of RJS Solicitors’ first Vacation Scheme, designed to give university students genuine, hands-on experience of life in a busy SME boutique law firm.

The four day programme has been created by Rhiannon Appleby and Max Hughes. It offers an immersive introduction to the four key areas of law we specialise in: corporate, dispute resolutiom, private client and real estate.

Each day of the scheme focuses on a different discipline, supported by a document pack featuring real-life scenarios taken from our day-to-day work. Wherever possible, students are also given the opportunity for client contact, offering a practical and authentic insight into the legal profession.

We were delighted to welcome our first students, Nathan Maude and Amber Loforte, onto the scheme this summer. Here’s what they had to say:

“During my time, I have gained insight into the legal profession, observed the day-to-day work of a busy law firm and had the chance to learn directly from experienced solicitors. The exposure to real cases and client meetings has supported my passion for pursuing a legal career.” – Nathan Maude

“Over the course of the scheme, I had the opportunity to get involved in a range of tasks across corporate, litigation, private client, residential and commercial property work. I also had the chance to sit in on some private client meetings, which gave me valuable exposure to how client relationships are managed in practice. This experience has strengthened my passion for law, and I’m excited to continue building on what I’ve learned.” – Amber Loforte

The feedback has been fantastic, and we are proud to be playing a part in helping the next generation of lawyers gain meaningful experience at the start of their careers.
The vacation scheme will shortly be offered to local universities. In the meantime, if you are a second year law student and would like to register your interest, please contact [email protected].

At RJS, we remain committed to opening doors, sharing knowledge and supporting future talent in law.

LPAs aren’t just for later life.

Many assume a Lasting Power of Attorney is only for the elderly, but accidents, illness, or travel can leave anyone temporarily unable to manage their affairs.

With an LPA in place, someone you trust can:

– Access your finances if you're abroad or unwell
– Make medical decisions in an emergency
– Avoid the need for costly court applications

Planning ahead is one of the most important legal decisions you can make, and RJS are here to guide you with every step.
