Butler & Kandler is a retired solicitors’ practice based in Ilkley, specializing in the secure archival and management of former client legal documents. The firm, which operated from 1977 to 2020, is no longer accepting new legal work but continues to provide essential support to past clients by safeguarding their important paperwork.
The practice offers a dedicated service for former clients seeking access to their archived files, original Wills, property deeds, and other legal documents. With a focus on confidentiality and long-term care, they retain closed files for statutory periods—typically seven years or longer for conveyancing matters—before arranging secure destruction, and they manage the transition of original documents to new legal custodians when necessary.
