Recent profiles of the youngest and oldest solicitors in the profession - and a feature on setting up your own law firm - have prompted Edward Foster of Fosters Solicitors in Herne Bay, Kent, to get in touch.

Mr Foster launched his practice in 2002 at the age of 29 years and 304 days - and it now has three offices and more than 20 staff - but can you do better?
