Furley Page—Luke Page

Firm adds to private client team

Newly-qualified solicitor Luke Page has joined Kent law firm Furley Page’s private client team. 

Luke Page studied law at the University of Exeter and BPP Law School before starting his legal training with the firm in September 2018. Luke is based at Furley Page’s Canterbury office where he handles a wide range of private client services, including dealing with probate matters and drafting wills and lasting powers of attorney. 

Aaron Spencer, partner and head of private client at Furley Page, said: ‘Furley Page has always worked hard to develop the next generation of legal talent through our excellent training programme. I’m very pleased to welcome Luke to the team permanently; throughout his training he has shown great aptitude and I am confident that he will deliver an excellent service to our clients. 

‘The current pandemic situation has presented some challenges, and we have all had to adapt quickly to remote working in order to keep our staff and clients safe. Despite this, we have continued to be very busy throughout 2020, as many people have used the time to update their wills and other personal legal documents. 

‘Luke has proven himself to be a flexible and valuable member of the team during this time and we have high hopes for his future development within the business.’
