JCP Solicitors

With its base in Swansea but having expanded substantially in recent years through organic growth and law firm acquisitions to include key offices in Cowbridge, Caerphilly and Carmarthen, the 'fantastic' team at JCP Solicitors is able to provide 'empathetic and client focused' advice across a full range of private client matters throughout Southeast and Southwest Wales. The 'very attentive and helpful' Chris Shaw leads the lifetime planning function which continues to gain instructions on a referral basis and through word of mouth across a wide range of matters, including in the context of tax planning for sports people and musicians, as well as probate work emanating from the firm's extensive will bank. The team also handles a significant amount of agricultural succession planning work, an area that Carmarthen-based partner Sean Boucher is particularly skilled. At an associate level, Alice Rowlands  in Swansea is well-liked by elderly and vulnerable clients, in particular, as a result of her 'friendly and empathetic' nature. Swansea-based partner Lynne Morgan, who is noted for her ability to 'make quick and effective decisions', heads up the firm's well-resourced Court of Protection team, which is a crucial element of the firm's overarching offering, not only on the management of the financial affairs of victims of traumatic brain injuries (much of which flows from the firm's well-respected personal injury/clinical negligence offering) but also increasingly for elderly clients who have lost capacity.
