Bath law firm Mowbray Woodwards has recruited widely experienced Court of Protection, estate planning and care matters lawyer Heledd Wyn as an associate solicitor.
Heledd, pictured, is a regular commentator in the legal press on issues relating to estate planning, care and mental capacity and is also an active social media commentator on these topics.
She joins Mowbray Woodwards from the Bristol office of national firm Clarke Willmott, where she worked for two years.
A law graduate from the University of Bristol, she has also worked at Somerset firm Pardoes and at legal practices in Wales.
Heledd’s appointment at Mowbray Woodwards is the latest in a series of new arrivals as the firm continues to grow.
She will work closely with partner David Whitworth and the private client team to build on its reputation as the ‘go-to’ firm in Bath due to its depth of expertise, particularly in relation to Court of Protection work.
Heledd said: “I am driven by trying to help individuals, carers, attorneys and other court appointed deputies get the best possible outcome when it comes to estate planning, care and capacity issues.
“The impact on people’s lives as a result of these types of decisions is significant so getting it right is extremely important and I feel privileged to work so closely with people in this way.
“With this in mind, Mowbray Woodwards was a natural choice for me given its focus on clients as individuals, each with a unique set of needs and experiences. I also love the fact I am in the office, in Bath, meeting clients face-to-face and working with colleagues of all different legal disciplines under one roof.
“It enables us to give people a really bespoke service depending on what they need rather than passing them from office to office or trying to offer a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution.”
David Whitworth, who heads the firm’s private client team, added: “We are really pleased that Heledd decided to join us. She is a huge asset to our team and the wider firm and has joined at a time of strong growth as we celebrate 70 years in business.
“Heledd’s passion for getting the best results for her clients is really admirable and I very much look forward to working with her.”
