Firm recruits wills & probate specialist

Midlands law firm mfg Solicitors has strengthened its private client offering with the appointment of a new wills and probate specialist.

Solicitor William Rowe has joined the firm as an associate. Based at mfg’s Telford office, he will work closely with partners Valerie Robinson and Paul Rhodes advising clients across Shropshire on wills, probate, trusts and matters affecting the elderly.

The 35-year-old Keele University graduate joins mfg from Knights Professional Services in Newcastle-under-Lyme. Paul is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), the widely recognised professional body for private client solicitors.

Valerie, who is head of the private client division, says: “William is a fantastic asset to the firm and our clients across Shropshire. Alongside Paul he is already providing a wide variety of advice to clients. He has an impressive track record handling many delicate matters relating to wills and probate with absolute professionalism.”

William adds: “mfg has an enviable reputation across Shropshire and the West Midlands so I am delighted to be part of the team here in Telford and working closely with such respected partners such as Paul and Valerie.”
