Robinsons Solicitors has strengthened its private client team
with the appointment of Julie Cook.
Julie has been recruited as solicitor at the firm's Ilkeston
office and will be responsible for wills, probate, trusts and tax
planning.
Julie qualified in 2004 and has worked at leading legal firms
across the Midlands. She has varied experience in private client
work including taking complex variation of trust applications to
the High Court and advising clients about offshore tax
planning.
However, prior to joining Robinsons, Julie had taken a break
from law to work for a charitable organisation which sent health
and education workers to African nations. This gave her a valuable
insight into the role of charitable organisations and strengthened
her resolve to help people on a 'one-to-one basis' by returning to
private client law.
In her spare time, Julie is a member of a local amateur
dramatics organisation, where she assists front of house, backstage
and with set design. She also exercises regularly taking part in
circuit training and spinning classes - something that will be of
particular interest to Robinsons fundraising team which is taking
part in the Wiggle Rut, a 74 mile cycling challenge, in aid of The
Ben Parker Trust.
Speaking about her new position, Julie said that she is
delighted to have joined Robinsons and is looking forward to
working with the company's experienced private client team.
"Robinsons Solicitors has an excellent reputation and I was keen to
join the firm because of their commitment to their clients, staff
and the wider community."
"I'm now looking forward to working closely with Sarah Nash and
Nikki Spencer to broaden my experience, build up a client base and
get involved with the firm and its culture."
Sarah Nash, principal at Robinsons Solicitors and head of the
private client department added: "We are delighted to welcome Julie
to Robinsons."
"She has an excellent track record in private client work and is
a strong addition to the department. We are confident that she will
offer our clients the very best advice and support."
