Law firm Freeths has expanded its trusts, estates and tax team in Nottingham with the appointment of senior associates Carly Harwood and Tom Newton, as it continues to grow its private client offering across the East Midlands. The expansion follows a period of significant growth for the team, which was recently named Large Private Client Team of the Year at the British Wills and Probate Awards.
Harwood joins with extensive experience in estate administration and estate planning, advising on sensitive and high-value matters. Newton brings strong expertise in estates work, particularly involving international assets, enhancing the team’s capability in complex, cross-border succession planning. Both are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), reflecting their commitment to high professional standards.
Commenting on the appointments, director Rahul Kotecha said: ‘The expansion of our team marks an important milestone in the development of our private client offering in Nottingham. Carly and Tom bring an exceptional combination of technical knowledge, practical experience and a genuinely client focused approach.’
Newton added: ‘I’m delighted to be joining Freeths’ trusts, estates and tax team, which has an outstanding reputation for its expertise and the quality of its client service… I’m looking forward to supporting our clients with their needs by continuing to provide clear and practical advice.’
