TWO new associate solicitors have been appointed at Bradford-based LCF Law.

Wendy Scarr and Hana Gwyn will add to the the firm’s 19-strong personal law department.

Wendy, who is a highly experienced Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) accredited private client lawyer joins from Harrogate based Stowe Family Law.

She was previously head of private clients at a Leeds-based firm and has experience in wills, probates, trusts, powers of attorney and deputyship responsibilities for those without capacity, as well as carrying out Court of Protection work.

She said: “I wanted to join a firm that offers wider services with a strong team of professionals and reputation for private client work, where there are good future prospects, so LCF Law was the perfect fit.”

Hana Gwyn is a STEP accredited private client lawyer and joins LCF Law from Manchester-based Kuits. With a particular focus on working with High Net Worth individuals, she provides trust and tax planning advice, wills, lasting powers of attorneys, probate and Court of Protection services.

Hana said: “I will be handling the full remit of private client work, which made this an appealing role. I’ve been with my previous firm for seven years and was keen to work in Yorkshire and progress my career at LCF Law.”

Neil Shaw, a partner at LCF Law and head of the firm’s personal law team, said: “Wendy and Hana bring an impressive set of skills to their roles and are welcome additions to our expert team. Our clients will definitely benefit from Wendy and Hana’s expertise.”
