Pontypool firm strengthens probate team with accounting graduate hire

Curtis Legal has appointed accounting and finance graduate Ioan Jenkins to its growing probate team in Pontypool. The 22-year-old joins the family-run firm to bring his financial expertise to the wills and probate department, working alongside a team of ten.

‘I am really excited to be joining the family firm,’ said Jenkins. ‘The team at Curtis Legal are experts in their fields and I’m looking forward to learning from them and adding my expertise in accounting to our services.’ He noted that a significant part of probate work involves accounts and tax, and he will be advising clients on tax planning and estate administration.

Jenkins completed 11 ICAEW professional exams during his undergraduate studies and plans to finish the academic requirements for ACA qualification by the end of 2025. His appointment marks a strategic move for Curtis Legal, which specialises in wills, probate, and medical negligence claims.

Director Simon Jenkins welcomed the addition, saying: ‘He will perfectly complement our current team and enable us to offer a broader range of professional advice and support.’ He added that the hire also supports succession planning: ‘Adding Ioan to the team straight out of university means he will learn about the family business from a young age and hopefully continue the business I’ve been building for more than 25 years.’
