Hi, I'm Sophie. I am a specialist Wills and Probate lawyer and a Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP) with STEP, the global body for experts in inheritance tax and succession planning. I specialise in helping couples and families protect their assets through creating personalised Wills and Protective Trusts. I know that planning for the future can be daunting. I can help the process to feel a little less challenging, whilst giving personalised guidance to help you make important decisions. Another specialism of mine is Probate and Estate Administration. I support families through what can be one of the most difficult times in dealing with the affairs of a loved one who has passed away. Whether the estate is simple or more complex, I can help to guide you through the process and ease the burden wherever possible. Outside of work, I’m happiest when I am by the coast with a coffee in hand. I live in the South of England with my husband, our baby boy, and our mischievous sausage dog Paddy. If you’re looking for a friendly expert to help you navigate the legal side of life’s big decisions, I’d love to hear from you.

Hello, my name’s Claire and I qualified as a solicitor in 2007. I specialise in helping couples and blended families put the right legal plans in place through Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs). I have a particular interest in Vulnerable Persons Trusts, which can offer crucial protection for loved ones who may need extra support now or in the future. Much of my work involves setting up LPAs, which allow people to choose trusted individuals to manage their health or finances if they are not able to. It’s a simple but powerful way to protect yourself and those around you. My approach is always down-to-earth and friendly. I believe Wills shouldn’t be confusing or intimidating, so I take pride in making the process easy to understand, no matter how complex your circumstances might be. Whether you're planning ahead for your children's future or supporting elderly parents, I’m here to help. I am very proud to be named “Start-Up Business Woman of the Year 2024”. Outside of work, you’ll often find me horse riding, which has been a lifelong passion of mine. I live with my husband, our two wonderful daughters, and Rosie, our Labrador who loves a belly rub! If you’re looking for practical advice from someone who truly understands how personal these decisions are, I’d be delighted to help.
