Inheritance protection team welcomes private client specialist

South East firm Gardner Leader has expanded the inheritance protection team with the appointment of solicitor Laura Sentkovsky.

Admitted to practice in 2017, Laura joins the firm after four years with London firm Meaby LLP. She specialises in private client matters, with a particular focus on estate administration, and also handles wills, trusts and Court of Protection matters.

Laura said: ‘It’s great to be part of such a fast growing, forward thinking and vibrant team. One of the first things I noticed was Gardner Leader’s committed and caring approach to clients and how staff are so passionate about what they do. It’s a way of working that appeals to my own nature and approach with clients, and so I was delighted when the opportunity came up to work at the firm.’

Jo Barton, head of the inheritance protection team, added: ‘Laura was an obvious fit for the firm as she not only brings with her an extensive range of skills in inheritance law, but her personable and emphatic approach appeals to our clients during that can be one of the most difficult periods of their lives.’
