Based at the Palmers’ Hub at Phoenix House, Basildon, Carey has been a fixture at the firm since 1995 when she joined as a trainee solicitor.

She has been involved in the leadership of Palmers Solicitors since 2001, first as a salaried and then as equity partner, joining the Management Committee of the practice in 2013.

As a solicitor, Carey specialises in Commercial Property with over 25 years of experience – dealing with and now primarily supervising a wide contact and client base across a huge range of commercial property work including:

  • Acquisitions and disposals
  • Estate development
  • Commercial leases – grant and sale/purchase
  • Business lease renewal (non-contentious)
  • Bank and private securities over property
  • Agricultural land
  • Charity land
  • Fisheries
  • Third party mortgages and consents
  • Schools and education establishments

As a Director and in her continuing management role, Carey’s primary focus is now, with her colleagues on the Management Committee, on the management of the business. HR, personnel, training, wellbeing, financial management and business development are at the heart of her role.

Carey is passionate about clear communication and development – whether that is building excellent relationships with her fellow leaders in the legal sector, her colleagues and trusted business friends in the local and business communities, or in dealing with matters of particular complexity in law and in commerce.

Carey is also committed to empowering and supporting others to do the same – helping her team and clients in “Moving Forward Together”, being the Palmers motto.

For over 25 years, Carey was involved in school governance and as Trustee of a local Multi Academy Trust. In the business community, she is a member of the Executive Board of the Basildon Business Leaders.

She also helps her fellow directors to run and promote the Palmers’ BASS (Bankers, Accountants, Surveyors and Solicitors) networking events at Basildon.

Legal 500 2017 – “‘Wise’ practice head Carey Jacobs ‘takes time to understand requirements and is often able to offer a choice of solutions’, dealing with lease negotiations, site assembly, conditional contracts, overage agreements and urgent transactions.”

Carey Jacobs – You have been great and at all times kept on top of what was going on and communicating this to me clearly.

Mr N R, Essex, November 2023

Carey Jacobs – Thank you very much for dealing with this so speedily. It would be great if all lawyers could act with each other, as opposed to against each other!
