JK Total Business Solutions

We are 10 years old today! Established as a partnership on 17 July 2015.

When we started, we both had to keep full time jobs to pay the bills whilst we got set up and started getting paying clients.

10 years later and the road has not been easy, particularly losing my business partner, Kirsty, in September 2023. Her passing left a huge hole, but things are now looking positive again and we have more business than ever.

Thank you to all of our clients and friends who have supported us over the last decade. Here's to the next 10 years and beyond!

Formal announcement regarding Jane’s stepping down from the National Association of Licensed Paralegals

There are some changes coming up within the next month or so at NALP. Our lovely CEO Jane Robson is stepping back to focus more of her time on her own business JK Total Business Solutions, and Chantal Cooke, our Communications Director is stepping up to fill Jane’s shoes as our new CEO.

Jane will still be closely involved in NALP as we have contracted her company to handle all our compliance.

“Since the unexpected passing of my business partner and best friend, Kirsty, in 2023 I have been considering my future and where my skills and interests are best focused. Whilst I am sorry that I won’t be as closely involved in NALP in the future I am extremely happy that I will be able to continue to play a role in NALP's future success as their compliance consultant. I wish Chantal all the best going forward, I know she will be a great CEO.” said Jane Robson.

“I want to say a massive thank you to Jane for all her hard work over the last few years, and I am excited to take over the reins at such an interesting time, with the apprenticeships taking off, new qualifications just around the corner and new membership levels coming soon. This is going to be a great year for NALP.” said Chantal Cooke

‘I wish Jane all the best for the future. I know she has had a difficult time personally after the tragic loss of Kirsty. I would like to thank her for the excellent job she has done for NALP as CEO during her reign.” said NALP’s Patron, Amanda Hamilton.

Rest assured, it will be business as usual for NALP and we don’t expect you to see any disruptions in the coming months.

Announcement from Jane Robson, Founder and CEO of JK Total Business Solutions:

"As many of our clients and friends will know, I have been acting as CEO to NALP (National Association of Licensed Paralegals) since October 2022. Following the unexpected passing of my business partner in JKTBS, Kirsty, in September 2023, I have been considering where I want to focus my skills and knowledge for the future. I have therefore decided to step back from my role at NALP so that I can concentrate on JKTBS, keeping my and Kirsty's hopes and plans alive for the future of the business we started together in 2016.

I have loved my time with NALP and am extremely pleased to say that this is not the end of the relationship between JKTBS and NALP as we will be continuing to provide compliance support to them in the future. I wish my successor, Chantal Cooke, all the best for the future. I am sure she is going to be a wonderful CEO and continue taking NALP onwards to a very bright and exciting future."
