Tim Ogle

Partner

Clients trust me to look after their interests and do my best for them. They know that I will keep them informed and not want for lack of effort. More importantly, I am like them, in that I am a busy parent with children and an aging mother and just trying to keep up! I am based in our Colchester office and am available for a free 15 minute chat on 01245 453840.

I advise on the full range of wills, powers of attorney, trusts, probate and estate planning work. I come from a business background and so I particularly enjoy advising business people on their own personal affairs, as I can draw upon my previous experience as a business lawyer.

But I also enjoy helping our clients of more advancing years to sort out their affairs. Families can often be complicated, so I derive real satisfaction from being able to help clients prepare for their lifetime and afterwards. By organising their affairs, it can save so many problems later on and facilitate smooth family relationships and eventual succession.

I am a School Governor at a local school in Sudbury.

I love to travel, and plan to do so again more widely when my children let me. I am a keen sportsman, both playing and watching, and will surely be spotted by a talent scout one day… tennis is my Olympic event, though I’ll play anything with a ball.
