Paul Dalton

I have more than 25 years experience in private client work and now specialise in Wills, Tax Planning and Probate work as well as Property related work for individuals and companies in Derbyshire. I also act in the sale or purchase of businesses by individuals or companies and act on the sale and purchase of farms and agricultural land locally in Derbyshire and nationally. I previously worked in Buxton and before that in Sheffield where I ran an office for RA Swift.

I live locally and I am a keen cyclist and ride for Matlock Cycling Club. I have ridden at the World Masters Cyclocross championships three times. I compete at National level in Cyclocross and Mountain Bike racing and I am ranked in the top 20 for my age group. I also enjoy hill walking throughout the Peak District and the outdoors when I am not in the office. I am a keen Francophile and try to travel to France several times a year. Email Paul

Sara Bailey

I have lived all my life in the local area. I have a young family and I am currently on Maternity leave. I am not currently carrying out any client facing work at Chubb and Co but deal with back office and Regulatory matters. At present I am organizing the reconstruction of our house and this takes up much of my time. Email Sara

Peter Kidd

I am now an assistant Solicitor at Chubb & Co having recently completed my training contract with the practice. My background was in litigation prior to joining Chubb & Co and I have carried this on by helping Paul Dalton to run some high value cases including one that was heard in the High Court. I can also help with Debt Recovery and dispute resolution such as construction disputes and property claims. I hold a Certificate in Employment Law which allows me to advise clients on all aspects of this constantly changing area of law which affects us all at some stage through our working lives. I have lived locally almost all my life and my local knowledge has helped me give clients specialist advice when I help them buy or sell properties in the area.

Away from work I am a keen cricketer and play for Matlock Cricket Club, I am a member of Matlock Golf Club and play there as often as I can. I also do my bit for local charities as an active member of Matlock Rotary Club. Email Peter

Richard J Horton

I retired as senior partner at Horton and Moss of Ilkeston where I was involved in residential conveyancing and commercial property work, including business start ups, sales and leases. When I retired I came to Chubb and Co as a consultant and I have clients throughout Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. I am willing to meet with you at your business or home address in the Derby or Nottingham area to conduct your legal business. I can assist you with Will making, trust formations and many other private client legal issues.

I live in Crich, and my wife, Fiona, works as a physiotherapist in Matlock. I am Secretary to The Comrades Club (a social club in Crich), a scout leader for the 1st Crich Scouts, and a member of Two Valleys BNI (a business networking organization). I have three children and enjoy participating with and supporting them in their various sporting activities which include football, sailing and horse riding. I am a new member of Cromford Fly Fishing Club, a budding thespian with the Glee Club in Wirksworth, and like dog walks with pub stops. Email Richard

Donna Masters

I have lived and worked in Matlock all of my life. I was educated at Charles White Secondary School and before that the local primary school. I have worked for Chubb and Co since 2001. As a local person I have a great deal of understanding for the area and people living in Matlock.

I am currently training to be a Legal Executive and hold various qualifications in conveyancing. When fully qualified I hope to undertake conveyancing and probate work. I also deal with Right to Buy applications by tenants from the local Housing Association.

I have a friendly and approachable attitude towards work and clients and I welcome face to face contact with people to explain the conveyancing process in easily understandable language.

When I am not in work I spend most of my time with my family and friends. Email Donna
