Specialisms

  • Commercial Property
  • Property / Conveyancing

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 and most recently sitting at Management Board level.

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 Board, 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.

Mr N R, Essex

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

TF and JS, Setfords Solicitors – London

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!

Mr C R – Rates Ford

Carey Jacobs - My dealings with Palmers have always resulted in a happy and satisfactory ending. Although I have dealt with a number of partners, each with their own field of specialism, one thing remains constant at that is their dedicated approach and sound, easy-to-understand advice.

Mr I R – Kingston Smith LLP

Carey Jacobs - I like the fact that Carey and her team approach their work in a very methodical but swift manner. Carey is always at the end of the phone to offer advice on complex matters, which has proven to be invaluable.

Mr J T – 20:20

Carey Jacobs - I would definitely use Palmers again to assist the firm with any property negotiations.

Mr G H – Writtle

Carey Jacobs - Carey is very down to earth – she tells it like it is and she never forgets her sense of humour!

Mr B L – William Palmer College Education Trust

Carey Jacobs - Carey Jacobs was brilliant throughout the transaction. The stakes at hand were enormous and she went above and beyond to help ensure a satisfactory lease was agreed and completed according to the deadline. Her advice was vital in bringing about a successful outcome.

Mr A W – Basildon Rugby Club

Carey Jacobs - The Blub has worked with Palmers for many years. As a local firm, they understand our needs. They are thorough, knowledgeable and very good at communicating with us.

Des Shillingford – Ortu Federation Ltd,

Carey Jacobs - We have a very long and very close relationship with Palmers and we trust and value their advice.

Ms S Davidson, Billericay

Carey Jacobs - We really do appreciate the time and effort put in by you and all the team at Palmers and the final price you have given us.I know that my brothers are in agreement with me when I say that you have given us an outstanding service and we would not hesitate in recommending Palmers to others. It has made the whole process (which at times was a bit of a nightmare!) so much less stressful to be dealing with such friendly and professional people, who at all times, dealt with the issues that arose (too many to mention!) and kept us fully informed along the way. Top marks for your customer service skills!

Dr S A, CEO, Stanford and Corringham Schools Trust

Carey Jacobs acted for the trust on its acquisition of the Hassenbrook Academy. This acquisition was of strategic importance for the trust in furthering its goal of providing first class education to the children of Stanford le Hope, Corringham and beyond. Completion of the transfer was dictated by term times, and as a result missing any deadline was not an option for us. Carey provided the trust with excellent support throughout the process, and dealt with requirements of the Department of Education on our behalf. In the end, the transfer completed on time, and the trust was delighted with the support that it received.

Mr T Prince, D Howes Pension Scheme, Surrey

Carey Jacobs - We had a really good service.

Mr M Walker, Altrad Beaver 84 Limited, Essex

Carey Jacobs/Maisie Yau - As a company we have dealt with Palmers Solicitors for many years since we moved our companies head office into the area in many aspects of our business. Over the past year we have had reason to undertake several branch moves, which has given us the opportunity to appoint Palmers solicitors to work on behalf of us on several land leases. We have always found them thorough and willing to go the extra mile to attain a very balanced deal for us. I would recommend Palmers to any company or private individual that are looking for a very professional and helpful company of solicitors.

Mr R Brudenell, Westcliff

Carey Jacobs – A difficult and challenging job carried out with great care and with complete success. Would use your services again without question.

Carey Jacobs – The experience I had I couldn’t have asked for better service anywhere else.

Mrs Z Walsh, Wickford

Carey Jacobs – Really good service!

Mr G Toomey, PGR Timber

Carey Jacobs – Works very well for me – excellent service.

Mr & Mrs A Pabaria, Romford

Carey Jacobs & Maisie Yau – I returned and dealt with Carey Jacobs who was excellent and because of her I have stayed with Palmers. Maisie Yau has also been very good, as has Joanna Perrins
