After more than three decades with Bendles, colleagues and friends came together at Tullie in Carlisle recently to mark Alison Bone’s retirement.
A Partner specialising in Family Law, Alison has been a highly respected member of the Bendles team throughout her career, supporting countless clients through some of life’s most important and challenging moments. Her professionalism, compassion and commitment have made a lasting impact on both those she has represented and the colleagues who have had the privilege of working alongside her.
Reflecting on her time with the firm, Alison said: “When I think about what I’ve enjoyed most about my time at Bendles, it’s always been the people. It’s been an absolute privilege to work alongside wonderful colleagues and support so many clients throughout my career. I’ll always be grateful for the friendships, experiences and memories I’ve made along the way.”
During her career, Alison has built a reputation as a trusted Family Law specialist, providing expert guidance and support to generations of clients across Cumbria and beyond.
Everyone at Bendles would like to thank Alison for her commitment and outstanding contribution over the past three decades. Her dedication, expertise and friendship will be greatly missed, and her influence will continue to be felt throughout the business for many years to come.
We wish Alison a long, happy and well-deserved retirement and every success as she begins this exciting new chapter.
