Rachael Williams Joins Growing Team

Leading national law firm Irwin Mitchell has recruited a new solicitor to its growing will, trust and estate disputes team in Manchester.

Rachael Williams joins from Stephensons Solicitors LLP, having qualified as a solicitor in September 2018. Rachael had experience during her training contract in handling commercial litigation and probate matters, and specialises in advising clients on Inheritance Act claims as well as cases involving capacity challenges.

Rachael’s appointment to the will, trust and estate disputes team marks the firm’s commitment to expanding its private client presence in the North West. The office already boasts a top-ranked family team, led by national head of family law Ros Bever.

The Manchester will, trust and estate disputes team was formed last year and is comprised of associate Heather Roberts, who joined the outfit in July 2018, and paralegal Lucy-Allena McIlroy.
