The 'bright and capable' team at Geldards LLP continues to thrive in the market, generating work from the firm's broader private client team and its market-leading charities group, as well as standalone instructions from individuals, whether in their capacity as executors, beneficiaries and claimants not named in the will (for example in Inheritance Act claims). Team head Laura Alliss is 'a pragmatic, realistic, tough but sensible lawyer', who has been pivotal to the firm's success in the area, including on often very challenging cases involving promissory estoppel.
