Solicitor and non-practising barrister Libby will manage and develop a department covering wills, probate, powers of attorney, declarations of trust, asset protection and estate planning services.

“She impressed us with her ability, passion and vision for the future of private client services. She’s already had a great impact on the team and we’re looking forward to her working to advance our offering in wills and probate work.”

Libby says: “I’m looking forward to getting involved with developing the department, utilising new technologies to make ourselves stand out from competitors and building on the personal service our customers receive.  It’s exciting to come into a firm that is developing across different departments and has ambitious plans to expand over the coming years.”
