Wards bolsters teams with two newly qualified solicitors
Wards Solicitors is proud to announce the addition of two newly qualified solicitors to their Wills, Probate and Mental Capacity (Jack Carlton) and Disputes (Nathalie Hope) teams. Both Jack and Natalie qualified at the beginning of July, following the successful conclusion of their training contract with the firm.
During his training contract, Jack developed a particular interest in Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Probate. Based at the High Street office in Bristol, Jack will continue to help clients in matters involving the creation of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, and the administration of Estates.
Jack says “I am delighted to be working in an area of law that I have been passionate about since my days at university. I am privileged to be working with such a well-respected team, who have supported me and dedicated their time to me throughout my training at Wards. I am now looking forward to helping the team and encountering new challenges as I begin my career as a solicitor.”
In his spare time, Jack enjoys basketball, podcasts and reading.
During her training contract, Nathalie developed a particular interest in probate disputes and spent 16 months expanding her knowledge and skills in this area. Based at the central Bristol office, Nathalie will continue to help clients in matters involving the validity of wills, inheritance disputes and the poor administration of Estates.
Nathalie says "I am thrilled to have finally qualified as a solicitor after many years of hard work, and even more so to be qualifying into such a reputable team. I am very grateful to my colleagues, who have dedicated their busy time to helping me become a well-rounded solicitor, and I am excited to begin this next chapter of what I am hopeful will be a fulfilling, purposeful career."
Outside of the office, Nathalie also sits on the Bristol Junior Lawyers Division committee, and is currently working towards completing her Masters dissertation about the legal reform of wills and inheritance matters. In her spare time, she also enjoys tennis, reading and travelling.
Congratulations to Jack and Nathalie on their achievement and we look forward to seeing their careers develop.
