Against the former owner. Or do I have to fight it out withmy new neighbour? Lawyer: Well, first we would have to find out the facts. Is there an easement? How long has this situation existed? Things Like that. Ms Wilson: Well, I've already checked the deed - there's no mention of an easement. And I think it's probably been this Way since his house was built. A friend told me that my neighbour may actually have a claim to the property! Is that possible? Lawyer: Well, there is a concept called adverse possession. That's a situation where someone can acquire title to property under certain conditions. We'd have to find out if These conditions apply in your case. However, if the Neighbour can claim adverse possession, you do have Options. You may be able to negotiate an easement in Return for him giving up his claim, for example. Ms Wilson: I see. Extract 2 Well, you know, I was in your shoes a year ago. When I began work here in the Corporate Division, I wasn't sure if I was going to be happy. And I didn't know much about the work at the Time. But I can honestly say I learned something new on a dayto- day basis. I guess that's the best thing you can ever say About a job. And I had the opportunity to become involved as Much as I liked in the life of the firm, both in terms of aspects Of work and training, and the social life. It was really up to me. And everyone was very welcoming and friendly, right from day one. I'm sure you'll find it that way, too. The work here is always varied.

And I was actively encouraged To liaise with clients, even from a very early stage. It has been A very rewarding year for me. Extract 3 Woman: So how's the new associate working out? Man: Well, Marcus is definitely not lacking anything in the Brains department, if you know what I mean - as sharp as a tack, I'd say. Which is just what we need right now with the Samuels case - very challenging stuff. But he's a bit of a lone wolf, and I'm not sure that the others will appreciate that in the long run. I'm thinking I might have to have a Word with him, you know, to try and foster some team spirit. Woman:Well, at least he's up to the task. Unfortunately I can't Say the same about our new addition in Banking and Finance. John doesn't seem to have much of a grasp of the fundamentals. I think we're going to have to remind him of Some of the basics. I was thinking of a staff seminar for Some of our newer people. Really just to brush up on Things. But, to be fair, John does put his back into things - he's often one of the last to leave in the evening, and he's Very conscientious about things like filing papers and Meeting deadlines. Part 2 Thomas: Mr Sanderson, I've really been enjoying my work here. You know, I'm even thinking of going into insolvency work Later on. Mr Sanderson: Well, I must say I've never regretted it myself. Of course, the work isn't for everyone - sometimes things Can get quite complicated and tricky. You really need to use Date: 2015-12-11; view: 1039
