BASINGSTOKE-based law firm Phillips Solicitors is expanding with the appointment of two new solicitors.

Kathleen Tingle and Hannah Clark have joined the London Street firm, the former in the company's employment law team and the latter in the wills and probate section.

Kathleen said: “I’m excited to be working for such a highly regarded and personable firm, which has an excellent reputation for its employment law services not only in Hampshire, but across Berkshire and Surrey too.”

Gill Brown, head of the employment law team added: “Kathleen’s approach is very much in-line with the way we look after our clients at Phillips and is a great asset to our team.

“We take great pride in working honestly, closely and flexibly with our clients. We like to get to know them and gain an understanding of what they are seeking to achieve, so that in addition to advising them on the law, we can provide practical and workable solutions for them to achieve their goals as quickly as possible.”

Hannah, who has recently become an Associate Member of the Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) and is a specialist in providing legal advice to elderly and vulnerable people, said: “I very much enjoy helping people get their property and financial affairs in order and advising them on everything from drafting Wills to Estate Planning, giving our clients confidence and peace of mind.”

Caroline Wallis, who heads the wills and probate team, added: “Hannah shares our passion for high standards of client care and we are delighted to welcome her to our team, where she has already proved to be a great asset.

“The growth of our wills and probate team is testament to the quality of our work and reflects the growing demand for our services."
