135 year old law firm appoint Family Solicitor as Partner 

Blackhams, have recently appointed Mr Taswar Hayat as Partner.

 

Taswar Hayat has been working at the firm since 2021  in the Family department where he previously worked as the Head of Family before being appointed as partner at the end of 2022. Taswar had previously worked at a well-renowned Legal 500 law firm for many years before assuming his role at Blackhams in 2021 as Head of Department.

 

Over that time, he has gained a positive reputation and a strong stance in the West Midlands for family law. Taswar advises on a range of complex private family law issues, and is also a busy family law advocate who regularly represents clients in magistrate and county court family matters.

 

Taswar will be working alongside Timothy Cuthbertson, the great grandson of one of the firm’s founders, Charles Heber Cuthbertson, who has been a partner in the firm since 1977. The firm has a wealth of history and is one of the most long-standing law firms in Birmingham having been established in 1888, a presence of over 135 years.


Timothy Cuthbertson, senior partner said:

 

“Taswar has been an essential part of the family law team since his employment in 2021 and has more than proved himself in that short amount of time. He has transformed the family law department and has certainly been a valuable asset to the firm.”

 

“Taswar approaches each matter with an elevated level of care and attention to detail. He has gone above and beyond for clients from all walks of life, and this has been more than beneficial.”

 

“His appointment as partner is certainly well deserved and I thoroughly look forward to working with him in the future.”


In 2003, the practice was merged with a popular firm, Blackhams, Maycock and Hayward who also had their roots in the 19th century and adopted the name of Blackhams. Then in 2017, the firm merged with a well-renowned firm in Solihull called Allsopp & Co Solicitors and have been operating under the name of Blackhams ever since.

Demystifying Will Formalities

What is the Difference Between a Secret Trust and a Half Secret Trust?

By Harkeert Kaur Samra • June 7, 2022
A secret trust can be used to conceal the identity of the recipient of a legacy. An example would be in the testator’s will it might read ‘I leave £50,000 to John’. On the face of it, this may look like the Testator has left £50,000 to John. However, the Testator has secretly asked John to hold the £50,000 on trust for Simon. As the Will does not make any reference to the trust, no one would know that the £50,000 is being paid to Simon. This can cause problems, as the success of the gift depends on John acting honestly and passing the money onto Simon. There could be problems also if John dies before the Testator. A half secret trust is where the Will creates a trust, but it does not reveal any of the details of who the beneficiaries usually are. The Will would leave the gift to the trustees to hold on trust ‘for purposes already communicated to them’. The existence of these sorts of trusts can create further complications for executors when administrating an estate.

What are the Implications of the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022 for the Property World?

By Harkeert Kaur Samra • April 29, 2022
The fast-tracked Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022 received Royal Assent on 15th March 2022, creating a new public Register of Overseas Entities (the OE Register). UK entities already have an obligation to disclose their beneficial ownership information under the PSC (People with Significant Control) regime however, this new register will apply where the UK property is held by a non-UK legal entity. This register will capture any overseas entities who hold freehold titles or leasehold titles of longer than seven years in England and Wales (a Qualifying Estate). The register will document the name, address and start date of the person who is the beneficial owner as well as the nature of the person’s ownership. This information must then be updated every 12 months. The scope of a Qualifying Estate is wide-reaching. For any Qualifying Estate that has been acquired since 1999 and still owned by an overseas entity, then that entity will be required to register. Additionally, any property dealings post 28th February 2022 will require the overseas entity to be registered.  It is not yet clear when the register will be implemented but with the deadline for compliance six months from implementation, overseas entities that could be caught by the new legislation should assess their position immediately to ensure compliance. If you require further information please contact our Conveyancing department on rsnipe@blackhams.com or telephone 0121 233 6912.

Tenants’ Break Clauses in Commercial Leases

By Harkeert Kaur Samra • March 18, 2022
Tenants’ break clauses, giving tenants the right to bring their lease to an end early are becoming increasingly common in commercial leases with the object of giving the tenant a degree of flexibility in relation to their rented premises. It is vital to get things right both when the break clause is being drafted before the lease is granted and when seeking to operate the break. From the tenants’ point of view any conditions attached to their ability to operate the break clause should be kept to an absolute minimum. Landlords will always insist that the rent (and probably other payments) due under the lease must be up to date and that possession of the premises is given up by the break date (which in practice means clearing the property completely) but other conditions such as compliance with all of the other tenant’s covenants in the lease (e.g. the covenant to keep in full repair) should be resisted by the tenant at the negotiation stage. Other considerations are whether the break opportunity is to be a one-off on a specific date or if it will be a “rolling break” which could be operated at any time after a certain date and the length of notice that must be given to the landlord.

Can I Give Witness Evidence via Video Link?

By Harkeert Kaur Samra • March 11, 2022
In ASR Interiors Ltd v AWS Trading Ltd & Anor [2022] , a witness attempted to give video evidence while driving a van. It has been reported that one of the witnesses called by the defendant, ‘appeared to be driving a van while dividing his attention between the road in front of him and the camera of a mobile device placed on the passenger seat’. The judge requested the hearing be stopped and directed the defendant to re-establish contact with the witness once he was stationary. The second time contact was made, Mr Singh appeared to be in a busy office with distracting amounts of background noise. On the judge’s request, he found a quieter storeroom in the building, but Singh then had to disappear with the video link running while he ran back to the office to get his statement. The judge recorded that Singh did not have his exhibit to the witness statement to hand or know about a brochure he referred to in the statement. The judge then proceeded to say counsel for the defendant ‘wisely accepted that the process was not turning out to be a successful one’ and opted to rely on Singh’s statement only. The judge said this was ‘realistic’ but did not give Singh’s statement any weight.
