Our Resolve. Your Resolution.
This page is dedicated to clients of The Garfitt Law Partnership and we welcome you to the wider Harrowells practice, following the merger of the two firms on 1st May 2025.
David Garfitt and Sally Robinson have been in touch, prior to the merger, to explain the practical arrangements and, for convenience, we also provide updates on this page so that you feel fully informed and reassured about the basis for the merger and related process.
How do I get in touch with David and Sally?
On and after 1st May, you can use new Harrowells email addresses and direct dial telephone numbers for David and Sally. These are:
David Garfitt
david.garfitt@harrowells.co.uk
David’s direct dial: 01904 558670
Sally Robinson
sally.robinson@harrowells.co.uk
Sally’s direct dial: 01904 558671
David and Sally’s postal address is now Harrowells Solicitors, 1 St Saviourgate, York YO1 8ZQ.
Ideally, we would like you to start using David and Sally’s new Harrowells contact details from 1st May 2025 but we will also divert The Garfitt Law Partnership LLP telephone and emails addresses to David and Sally’s new Harrowells set-up for a period of time after the merger to ensure that any communication you accidently send to their ‘old’ contact details still get through. Any post sent to the Dacre address will also be received there.
Will David and Sally continue to look after my current matters?
Yes. A really important aspect of the agreement between the two firms is that David and Sally provide continuity of service and care to their clients, particularly those with active, ongoing matters.
Will David and Sally continue to look after my legal affairs in the future?
Yes. They will join the wider team at Harrowells and provide advice and guidance on Private Client and Property matters as they do now. Where appropriate, and with your agreement, they can also draw on the expertise within Harrowells in relation to other areas of law.
Arrangements concerning ongoing matters and the storage of legal documents and files
Your initial letter or email will have outlined detailed arrangements concerning ongoing matters, if any, and the storage of legal documents and files. If you have any questions, please do call David or Sally via the contact details above.
Can we still meet with David and Sally in Harrogate and Nidderdale?
If you are a client who valued the convenience of meeting David and Sally in Harrogate and Nidderdale, you will still be able to do so after the merger.
Further information
If you would like more information, you can read our blog announcing the merger. In addition, if you have any further questions then please do contact David or Sally who will be very happy to speak with you.
