The Wills Probate and Contentious
Probate Teams at Hugh James Solicitors Cardiff have once again been
highlighted as leaders in their field by being ranked in the top
tier for Wales in both the Legal 500 and Chambers Guides.
Chambers and Partners guide states
that “This firm boasts one of the largest asset management teams in
Wales, and as such handles an impressive range of work, from
contentious trusts and estates, tax and trust planning through to
Court of Protection proceedings. The team also drafts wills and
probates for a number of high street banks.”
The Chambers guide identifies Alun
Jones, Managing Partner and Head of the Wills and Probate Team as
having “initiative and insight in spades."
The Legal 500 notes that “Hugh
James’ ‘efficient, highly skilled team offers an extremely
competent service’. Clients include high-value, high-profile and
vulnerable members of society."
The Legal 500 continues to
highlight key individuals: “Managing partner Alun Jones advises high street
banks; and Lynn
Wheeldon and senior associate Sarah Cash handle high-value, complex trusts and
estates. ‘Experts in their field’ on the contentious side,
Wiljo Salen and
senior associate Matthew Evans act for various trust corporations
and charities.”
Alun Jones, Managing Partner and
Head of the Wills and Probate Team stated “We are delighted to have
maintained a top tier ranking in both the Legal 500 and Chambers
and Partners guide. The legal guides are very important as the
feedback is provided by clients and specialist lawyers so these
comments are reflective of what is being said about us by our
clients and other lawyers and is therefore a true picture of our
performance. This achievement is a clear credit to the team whose
hard work and dedication enables us to provide a first class
service to clients.”
