Michael Celebrates 50 Years on Roll of Solicitors

Sunday February 5, 2017

Michael Morgan started working at AFG LAW at the age of 16 in September 1961 as an office boy in a school holiday job and became an articled clerk (trainee solicitor) with the firm. The route to becoming a solicitor for Michael was to spend 5 years in the office gaining experience, going on to take an intermediate exam and then the solicitors final exam. He qualified and was admitted as a solicitor on 1 December 1966.

 

He has been on the Roll of Solicitors for over 50 years now, which in itself is an achievement recognised by the Law Society for those solicitors still practicing. Michael received his certificate earlier this year from the Law Society.

Michael became a partner in 1970 (one of just three) and has always worked in the property department dealing with clients personal affairs and business dealings, but mainly land and property matters, including lots of land related disputes.  Michael is recognised as one of the UK’s leading experts in rights of way, easements and boundary dispute matters.

 

In 2003, when he reached the age of 60, Michael gave up his partnership but stayed on in the firm as a consultant at AFG LAW. However, Michael prefers to be known as an associate solicitor!

 

The whole team at AFG LAW would like to congratulate Michael on his achievements to date!
