Cheltenham law firm announces two new hires
Growing Cheltenham law firm Frank Smith & Co Solicitors has boosted its wills, trusts and probate department with two new hires.
Experienced solicitor Sue Senkbeil has been appointed alongside legal executive Michele Bysouth. Together, they boast more than 35 years in private client law.
Sue said: "The firm's values of taking a friendly yet professional and pragmatic approach align directly with my own, so I have no doubt that it will be a seamless transition during which I can offer clients clear and helpful advice in a sensitive and understanding manner.
"I have been in law for a long time, so have had plenty of time to hone my skills and develop an expert knowledge on a range of areas, in particular wills, trusts and probate. I am excited to put that knowledge to good use but also to learn from and work with an impressive team."
Michele has over 15 years of experience in law and eight years working specifically in wills, trusts and probate.
She said: "Having supported clients with wills, trusts and probate matters for now nearly a decade, I’m especially looking forward to putting that experience and knowledge to use for a new client base.
"Frank Smith & Co Solicitors has long been a highly reputable firm in the Southwest and to be able to work with such an expert team is an exciting step in my career."
The firm delivers property and private client legal advice and was founded by Frank Smith.
He said: "Sue pairs a keen eye for detail with a kind and caring attitude to handling matters calmly, friendly and professionally, both for new and existing clients alike.
"Michele has developed a reputation for her hard work and professionalism, and welcoming, empathetic nature, qualities she uses to work closely with clients to resolve legal matters efficiently and with care.
"We’re thrilled to welcome them both to the team and are confident that they will be assets to an already well-developed, specialist team of legal experts."
