After a remarkable legal career of over 45 years, Donaldson West would like to announce with delight for her, and sadness for us, that Pauline Donaldson has decided to retire.
Pauline set up the business with her colleague, Trevor West, in 2001, after spotting an opportunity to create a new legal firm in Crowborough, following Cripps Harries Hall’s decision to close their office in the town.
Since then, Pauline has served the people of Crowborough and the surrounding area with huge professionalism providing unambiguous legal advice in a clear but friendly manner.
It’s thanks in no small part to her hard work and dedication, that Donaldson West has become an established and respected firm in the area, building on her legacy of serving our clients with care and skill.
Pauline and her husband have decided to move to the west country to be closer to their children and grandchildren and we wish her a long and happy retirement. It is well deserved.
