Buckles Solicitors LLP hired the 'thoughtful and effective' Ben Fox in Cambridge from Ellisons Solicitors to lead its contentious probate team, which features experienced commercial litigation consultant Paul Branch and senior associate Alex Burch in Peterborough. All three are full members of ACTAPS, and their workload is growing significantly throughout Cambridgeshire and beyond. They frequently handle claims concerning capacity, undue influence, knowledge and approval, as well as contentious deputyship applications, challenges to care home fees, and the removal of executors.

  • ‘The work which was done for me was dealt with by Paul Branch who I found very easy to talk to. His leadership was first class, always keeping me fully informed of how the case was going and also how we should proceed in the future. He also kept me informed regarding the costs at each stage and also what the future costs may be.'

  • ‘The team has real expertise in this field and a wealth of experience of dealing with high-value, complex and contentious estates and trusts. It is a very strong regional presence in this area. They are also well complemented by the very strong private client and corporate teams.’
