Jasper Vincent Solicitors – Make A Will Winner
J
asper Vincent Solicitors is extremely proud to have been nominated for the Countess Mountbatten Top Fundraiser Award in the Make a Will Month. Out of the 14 firms that took part in the scheme, 6 were nominated for this award and so we are even prouder to have been announced as the Winner at the Countess Mountbatten Awards Evening on 30 January 2020.
Aliesha Lasisi-Saveall – Legal Assistant to the COP team: “I was welcomed and made to feel like part of the team from the outset. My supervisor Lauren and my mentor Alanna have extensive expertise in Court of Protection matters so I am able to gain invaluable knowledge and experience every day.” In addition to continued growth, Churchers have been supporting two trainee solicitors in their journey into the world of law. Eliza Watts – Trainee Solicitor: “I am now four months into my Training Contract and thoroughly enjoying my seat in the matrimonial department. I am taking full advantage of all of the opportunities my team are offering me and I have learnt that there are far more complexities to consider in matrimonial law than I first envisaged. I find this area of law fascinating and the variety of work is really keeping me on my toes. I am particularly enjoying regular attendance in Court, sitting behind Counsel, and being able to have an input into all aspects of a matter to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.” Alys Taylor – Trainee Solicitor: “Starting my training contract was a steep learning curve and it has been really enjoyable. The partners have an open door policy so I have always felt comfortable asking any questions or asking for help if needed. The training has been in depth in both style and substance and I have learnt a huge amount. Churchers as a firm have offered me such a lot of personal support and have welcomed me into the team in a lovely way.”
Jasper Vincent Solicitors are very happy and pleased to have been able to devote some of our resources to assisting this worthwhile local cause. We have supported the ‘Make a Will scheme’ for several years now and hope to continue to do so in the future. Jasper Vincent also take part in many other charitable schemes and events. ■
