Wrigleys Solicitors LLP‘s probate, tax and estate planning team is led by Julia Boyes, Lisa Eato and Lynne Bradey in Sheffield, and Andrew Wriglesworth and Marie-Louise Hamilton in Leeds. Hamilton also leads the firm’s trust management services, which works closely with the team. Cross-departmental collaboration is a hallmark of the firm, which provides a ’complete in-house service’ for its farming and land-owning clients. Additionally, the team has expertise advising family business owners in relation to asset protection and succession planning, and working with injured, disabled and vulnerable clients; it also has a notable specialism regarding cross-border estate planning. Julia Boyes works with large, landed estates across the country and Suzannah Farnell joined the team in January 2023 from Veta Law.
