Experienced in trust matters, acting as trustees, as well as probate issues, Gibson & Co Solicitors Ltd’s private client practice draws from the firm’s strong agriculture practice to assist with a wide range of estate planning matters, including tax planning work. The team is jointly led by Derwent Gibson in Hexham and Christopher Sheppard in Newcastle. While Gibson focuses on private client work for farming families, Sheppard covers wills, trusts, contentious probate issues and estate administrations. Other key members of the team are Michael Macgregor and Louise Peacock.
