Blake Morgan has announced the arrival of partner Paula Shea in its Southampton office.
Paula joins the firm after more than 13 years with Lester Aldridge LLP in Bournemouth. She specialises in advising on tax and succession planning for high net worth individuals, and offers experience ranging across the trusts, wills, and probate fields. She is dual qualified to practise in both Northern Ireland and England and Wales, and is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) and the Law Society Private Client Section.
Paula commented: ‘Blake Morgan’s private client team is impressive—the breath of expertise within the team and the way it aligns with the wider firm allow it to put the clients' needs at the heart of the advice provided. What also really attracted me to the firm was the opportunity to be part of this dynamic and ambitious team, one that I hope I can help to grow further.’
Helen Bunker, partner at Blake Morgan, added: ‘Paula is already a fantastic asset to our private client team. Her practical and sensitive approach and experience across a diverse range of clients, from private individuals with relatively straightforward affairs to those with significant business interests, makes her an ideal fit for us. We’re delighted to have Paula on board and strengthening our offering to our entrepreneurial and business clients on the South Coast.’
