Private client expert joins in Liverpool

National firm Weightmans has welcomed private client specialist John-Paul Dennis to its wills, trust and estates team in Liverpool.

John-Paul joins after almost 13 years at Kirwans in Merseyside, where he was previously a partner and head of the private client and property practice. He offers extensive experience of advising business owners and high net worth individuals on succession planning, lifetime and post-death planning. He also deals with Court of Protection cases, and is a registered member of the National Association of Solicitors for the Elderly.

John-Paul commented: ‘Weightmans is known for helping clients navigate complex personal and commercial matters with care. For many clients, their business and the demands that go with it is their priority—so helping them take care of this business and their family assets is mine. I am delighted to have joined a firm which shares this outlook.

‘I look forward to working with my colleagues across the firm to further grow the team in Merseyside and the wider North West region.’

Partner and head of private client Carole Atkinson said: ‘Good estate planning is essential for positive financial health and overall peace of mind—and trust in your advisor is key. At Weightmans, we pride ourselves on our strong client relationships and John-Paul’s reputation in customer care is second to none. We are delighted to welcome him to the team.’
