Private Client solicitor appointed by Vincents in Poulton

Private client solicitor Courtney Leach has joined Vincents Solicitors in Poulton.

Courtney is an experienced specialist in wills, probate, trusts, lasting power of attorney, inheritance tax advice and court of protection work. 

Her appointment sees the private client service extended to Poulton with an in-house specialist able to support clients from across Poulton, Carleton, Thornton, Cleveleys, rural Fylde and north Blackpool.

She said: “Vincents has a great reputation locally, the Poulton team is known for its excellent residential and commercial property services.

"I want to achieve the same for private client services and become the go-to solicitor for individuals and families in this community to discuss sensitive subjects like wills, probate, LPAs and estate planning.

"I’ve always wanted to work in my own community and help to make a difference; to be someone that others come to for help, and that people want to recommend.

"Vincents is a very modern law firm, with a great approach to its clients and its staff, and I’m excited about the opportunities for career progression and to build my own portfolio here in Poulton.

"With seven offices, it’s clear Vincents is also a very successful law firm and it’s not hard to see why.

"The people here are wonderful, really dedicated but also approachable and they care about what they do. I’ve had such a fantastic welcome and colleagues in Poulton are already talking about doing charity fundraisers and networking events together.”    

Courtney joins Vincents from MJV Solicitors in Cleveleys where she worked for two years, prior to which she was at Inghams in Cleveleys for four years.

At Vincents she will work closely with private client director Lisa Lodge and Sophie Mercer, head of the Poulton office.

Sophie said: “It’s great to have Courtney join the team, she’s fitted in really well and is so knowledgeable, it’s a genuine pleasure to introduce her to our clients. 

“Since launching the Poulton office in 2022 it has become a hub for residential and commercial property, and provided other services through visiting colleagues from other offices.

"Now we have a private client specialist in the team we can grow that business and provide those services directly to local people.

"We’ll certainly be recommending our property clients have a chat with Courtney as one of the first things anyone should do after buying or selling an asset is to update their will or their estate planning.”
