Several Irwin Mitchell Named As Experts And Specialists In Multiple Private Client Categories

12 Irwin Mitchell partners and senior associates have been recognised for their exemplary work in the latest round of Spear’s indices.

The Spear’s indices are decided on multiple factors including nominations, client feedback, interviews and information gathered by the HNW publication’s editorial research team.

Darran Fawcett, a partner in the firm’s Chichester office, was listed as Top Recommended in the Offshore Experts category as a specialist trusts services adviser.

Meanwhile senior associate Ben Xu, based in Irwin Mitchell’s London office, was named as a Top Recommended adviser on the immigration indices with a focus on complex personal and business immigration needs.

Irwin Mitchell had an excellent showing in the Tax Lawyers category with Alex Ruffel as Top Recommended, Andrea Jones as a Rising Star, and George Merrylees and Helen Clarke as Recommended. Ashley Hill was listed as Recommended in the Accountants and Tax Advisers category.

The Contentious Trust Lawyers category was just as fruitful with five Irwin Mitchell Will, Trust and Estate Disputes partners listed as Top Recommended: Nicola Bushby; Claire-Marie Cornford; James Laycock; Paula James and the Director of Private Client Services, Paula Myers.

The indices come following another strong showing in leading legal directory The Legal 500 for Irwin Mitchell’s Private Client and Family Law national teams.
