Private Client
Jade qualified as a Solicitor in June 2015 and whilst initially practicing contentious probate matters, she now specialises in all matters relating to Private Client work. She acts for a very broad spectrum of clients in terms of age range and their needs at all stages of life.
Jade’s previous litigation experience has meant that she is recognised both within the firm and externally for her ability to assist and advise in connection with complex estate matters including where there are trusts, disputes or complicated tax considerations such as claiming Business Property and Agricultural Property relief.
Jade works primarily in our Hassocks office but also collaborates closely with colleagues in our other locations.
