Firm recruits head of private client division

Parrott & Coales LLP has made a significantly strategic move to grow and shape its private client division through the appointment of Abigail Farley-Howson as head of department. 

Abigail has 10 years experience in private client law and is highly skilled in business development. As a senior associate and department head, she will be responsible for the direction and development of the private client division and its team including the possible expansion into new areas of private client work.

Abigail has in-depth experience across a broad range of private client services including wills, trusts, probate and Court of Protection practice. Plus, having been raised in a family run business, she has a good understanding of the requirements of growing and planning an exit from a company. 

Sarah Plumridge, managing partner of Parrott & Coales, says: "Our private client team has seen a significant increase in client work so we needed someone that could turn this success into an opportunity to take the department forward. Abigail has the leadership qualities we need to make this happen and we are delighted to have her on the team."
