Tracy Creed—Sydney Mitchell LLP

Partner promotion at Midlands firm

Sydney Mitchell LLP has announced that Tracy Creed has become a partner at the firm. Tracy heads the private client team at Sydney Mitchell and re-joined the firm as an associate three years ago. She has worked hard with the team and expanded the department during that time.

Tracy is a qualified solicitor, has extensive experience in all areas of private client work including trusts, wills, probate, power of attorney, deputyship, inheritance tax planning, estate planning and care funding issues. She is based in the firm’s Shirley office but has clients throughout the Midlands. Tracy has delivered talks to a variety of care homes, financial advisers and the fire service. She has presented to the Society of Will Writers and the Institute of Professional Will Writers.

“Tracy is a specialist in elderly client advice and is well known in the Midlands for this work. We are pleased to welcome her into the partnership. This reinforces and rewards the excellent work she has done with the team. She has great skill in providing clear, straightforward advice to clients and her colleagues and is very deserving of this promotion” says Karen Moores, partner.
