Law firm MSB Solicitors has added two people to its private client team in Liverpool, doubling the size of the department

MSB Solicitors in Liverpool has welcomed two new people to its private client team.

Robert Lee joins MSB as head of the private client department, specialising in wills and probate, conveyancing of probate properties, trusts and estates, Court of Protection, powers of attorney, and contentious probate matters.

Having qualified as a solicitor in 2007, Mr Lee is a fully accredited member of Solicitors for The Elderly, and has undertaken additional specialist training in older client law.

Also joining the team is Caroline Chamberlain, who joins as a solicitor in wills and probate. With more than a decade of experience, Ms Chamberlain advises clients across the whole spectrum of private client matters.

These include including wills, lasting powers of attorney, probate applications and estate administration. She offers a particular focus on complex disputes, including applications to remove trustees; burial disputes; will validity disputes and claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.

They join solicitors Rafael Donovan and Steven Butchart, doubling the private client team. MSB managing director, Emma Carey, said: “The growth of our private client team is a direct reflection of the fantastic work that Steven and Rafael have been doing. This, in turn, has led to increased enquiries and demand for support with more complex issues.

“I’m incredibly proud to be able to grow this team and welcome two talented individuals with impressive experience, who will further strengthen our offer, to ensure we can continue to provide the best possible services to our communities.”
