Russell-Cooke announce the promotion to partner (with effect from 1 July 2010) of contentious probate specialist, Alison Regan.

Alison joined Russell-Cooke as a trainee in September 2000.  Originally a commercial litigation solicitor, Alison, together with Richard Frimston, head of Russell-Cooke's Private Client group, has been instrumental in developing contentious probate as an area of practice in tandem with the firm’s specialisation in contentious trust work.  The growing team is recognised as a leading contentious probate team with expertise in cross border disputes. Both Alison and Richard are members of ACTAPS (Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists).

Richard Frimston said:  "We are delighted with Alison’s promotion to partnership and the continuing growth of the team.  The breadth and quality of work involving both the contentious trusts team and the contentious probate team continue to expand. Matters involving French law, other cross–border jurisdictions and cross-border mental capacity issues are hugely on the increase.”
