Full-service national law firm Shakespeare Martineau has added to its Bristol-based private client team with the appointment of solicitor Olga Washington.
With almost five years’ experience, Olga – who has joined the firm from WLS Solicitors – specialises in a full range of private client services, including the creation and administration of Trusts, with a focus on probate and estate administration, Wills, inheritance tax planning and Powers of Attorney.
Olga, pictured, said: “I am very excited to have joined such a well-accomplished private client team, which is known for its superior client care and interesting, complex cases.
“Shakespeare Martineau has a genuine welcoming culture and I am looking forward to developing my technical skills, while also being able to assist with the growth of the private client department in Bristol.”
Shakespeare Martineau head of private client in Bristol, Heledd Wyn, added: “We are experiencing growing demand for our services due to the strong reputation we have built over the years, and I am looking forward to seeing Olga continuing her already successful career with us.”
Shakespeare Martineau, which expanded its reach into the South West following its merger last year Bristol-headquartered GL Law, also has hubs in 10 other locations across the UK.
It is part of the Ampa group of businesses, which employs more than 1,400 people in total and also includes consumer law firm Lime Solicitors, planning consultancy Marrons Planning, uninsured loss recovery experts Corclaim and cyber security consultancy CSS Assure.
