mfg Solicitors—Gosia Bronisz-Handley & Jake Moses

Midlands law firm appoints two private client lawyers
mfg Solicitors has recently welcomed two lawyers to its Private Client department in Telford.

Specialists Gosia Bronisz-Handley and Jake Moses have joined the firm to support its clients in a variety of matters including wills, lasting powers of attorney, probate and around the administration of estates.

Gosia (pictured, centre), who lives in Ludlow, qualified as a solicitor in 2018 and has supported individuals and families in preparation of wills, lasting powers of attorney and estate administration. Also a Polish speaker, she brings experience of working with clients from Poland due to her links with the country and communities in the region.

Colleague Jake (pictured left), originally from Mid-Wales, qualified two years ago and has gone on to carve out a growing reputation as an expert in the drafting of wills, lasting powers of attorney and advice around inheritance tax.

Both will work closely with partner Sally Smith and head of department, Giles Scott (pictured, right).

Mr Scott said: 'Gosia and Jake are both tremendous additions to our team in Telford and are already supporting our clients superbly.  

'More than anything, they are making an impact because of their approach, attention to detail and their professionalism. 

'I am certain both will make superb contributions in the months and years ahead.'
