Firm adds to private client team

City law firm law firm DMH Stallard has made a senior appointment to its highly regarded private client team.

Olga Powell, formerly of Irwin Mitchell, joins as a senior associate and brings significant experience in UK tax and estate planning for individuals and trustees.

Olga specialises in helping clients plan for the future, protect and preserve their wealth in a tax efficient way and support generational planning, often making use of trusts for greater protection. 

A fluent Russian speaker, Olga is also expert in dealing with challenging family situations, often involving second marriages and preventing them from escalating to trust and probate disputes.

Lorna Fairbairn, partner and head of private client, said: ‘I am delighted to welcome Olga to DMH Stallard. It is a superb appointment and one of a number of outstanding additions to the private client team. The firm’s determination to recruit the very best legal talent is as strong as ever.’

Olga said: ‘Joining such a renowned private client team at DMH Stallard, at a time of dynamic growth across the firm, is really exciting for me.’
