Partner appointed as president of Worcester Law Society

Contentious probate law expert Andrew Chandler has recently been appointed as the new president of the Worcestershire Law Society.

Andrew, partner at law firm mfg Solicitors, has taken over the position from QS Parkinson Wright’s Charlotte Perry and has set out his vision for the year ahead to promote and support local lawyers in the county.

Mr Chandler has pledged to support the county’s lawyers, promote the profession and raise thousands of pounds for his chosen charity, Midlands Air Ambulance.

He said: 'The Worcestershire Law Society is one of the oldest of its kind in the UK so to become the new president is a tremendous privilege and honour. It is a wonderful opportunity and I know I have to work very hard to make as big an impact as my predecessors.

'My aim is to not only ensure we give the best possible service to our members, but also to work with the committee to promote the wide and admired legal expertise we have here in Worcestershire.'
