Charity expert joins Birmingham firm

Birmingham law firm Access Legal, the private client sector of Shoosmiths, has appointed Jane Whitfield to its growing team. Jane has built an established name for herself both locally and nationally with an extensive past career in charity law, encompassing expertise, legal structures and registration. 

Second to her role at Access Legal, Jane will also be taking on the role of chair at the Law Society’s Wills & Equity committee this coming September. 

As a recent new member of the team, Jane Whitfield shared her excitement at joining the firm: "I am really looking forward to being a part of a team that really does believe the client has to be the centre of everything you do. It is inspiring to work for a dynamic law firm that is going in the same direction that I want to go—onwards and upwards—in terms of both expanding my own experience and extending the range and level of service that clients can expect."
