Ruth Meyer
Boyes TurnerThe team at Boyes Turner ‘know their clients extremely well, and work efficiently as a team’. Ruth Meyer heads the practice, which specialises in managing the property and affairs of high-net-worth individuals who lack capacity to do so themselves, whether they be children, adult or elderly clients. The majority of its clients have substantial claims for personal injury or clinical negligence compensation. As well as professional deputyships, the group is regularly asked to support lay deputy applications. It has further diversified into the areas of community care, and health and welfare matters. Alexander Wright regularly acts as a professional deputy for property and affairs, and works principally with clients who have suffered injuries at birth with lifelong care needs and multi-million pound settlements.
