Harrison Drury hires private client specialist

A specialist in Court of Protection and mental capacity issues, Eve will be based at the firm’s Preston office and will advise clients and their families across the region.

John Chesworth, executive chairman of Harrison Drury, said: “Court of Protection is a sensitive area of law and it takes people with specific skills and personal qualities to advise clients and their families. Eve’s reputation in this field is outstanding and it’s a privilege to have her at Harrison Drury.

Eve added: “It’s feels great to be able to join such a well-regarded firm where you can also bring something new to the table. I’m looking forward to helping Harrison Drury further develop its private client offering, particularly in relation to complex mental capacity cases, but also in later life and elderly client matters.” As a Court of Protection lawyer, Eve’s role is managing the financial affairs of those who do not have the capacity to do so. She is a member of Solicitors for the Elderly and the Court of Protection Practitioners Association.
