Shelly Wainwright, a wills, probate and tax planning specialist
at Lichfield and Cannock law firm Ansons has been promoted to
associate in her tenth year of being a qualified solicitor.

having graduated from the University of Sheffield. She
studied the Legal Practice Course at the University of Central
England qualifying as a solicitor two years later in 2001.
Commenting on her promotion she said: "I am delighted about my
promotion as I'm firmly committed to Ansons and since qualifying as
a solicitor I have remained dedicated to learning and professional
development." Indeed, Mrs Wainwright is currently studying for the
Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners' diploma. STEP is the
principal professional body and is recognised as the quality mark
for professionals in the trust and estate administration sector.
Marie Tisdale, the wills, probate and tax planning partner at
Ansons, said: "Shelly is an important part of our team and her
promotion to associate is suitable reward for her hard work,
commitment and development as a leading solicitor in what is an
increasingly complex and ever changing area of law."
The promotion comes on the back of a successful year for the
department which in a difficult economic climate has increased its
client base in Staffordshire, particularly within Cannock and
Lichfield, and been recognised in the Legal 500 directory of the
top 500 UK law firms.
Ansons provides a full range of legal services for individuals
and companies from its offices in Cannock and Lichfield.
