Law firm Gordons has expanded its private client practice by appointing an additional specialist lawyer to its existing team.
Victoria Jones, who joins from Ridley & Hall Solicitors, has particular expertise in the preparation of wills, trusts and lasting powers of attorney. She also handles the administration of estates. At Gordons, Victoria is both advising the firm’s longstanding private clients and forging close relationships with new ones.
Commenting on her appointment, Victoria said, “Gordons’ private client practice is extremely well regarded, so I am very pleased to have the opportunity to contribute towards its continued success. “I have joined a highly capable team with a deep and diverse range of clients, and one which has the desire to attract more individuals who want to benefit from the firm’s distinct relationship-led approach.”
Victoria’s appointment to the private client team follows that of chartered tax advisor, Isca Watson. She specialises in inheritance tax, capital gains tax and income tax, advising trustees, personal representatives and private individuals.
Gordons partner and head of private client, Greg Dixon, said, “Victoria has the ideal combination of being both highly personable and technically excellent at what she does. In the short space of time since joining the firm, Victoria has made a significant positive impact and we look forward to her continuing to do so. By expanding the team with her and Isca’s appointments, we are able to provide our clients with additional insight and advice.”
Employing 170 people, Gordons has its head office in Leeds. The firm’s clients include retailers AO, Iceland Foods, Morrisons, Ocado Retail and Wren Kitchens as well as drinks company Molson Coors and parcel delivery business Evri.
