Law firm Chadwick Lawrence Solicitors expands its wills and probate team
Law firm Chadwick Lawrence Solicitors has expanded its wills and probate team with the appointment of solicitors Helena Wong and Tom Grice.
Wong joins as a solicitor specialising in probate matters, including taxable and non-taxable estates, as well as wills and lasting powers of attorney.
She brings a blend of international and UK experience, having completed her law degree at The University of Hong Kong, a globally recognised top 25 law school, and qualified as a solicitor in Hong Kong in 2019.
She later relocated to the UK, qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales in 2023 via the SQE route.
She has experience working within the private client team of a well-regarded national firm, where she focused predominantly on high-net-worth individuals and complex, cross-jurisdictional estates.
Her experience includes handling estates valued between £1m and £5m, preparing lasting powers of attorney, and supporting on complex wills and trust structures. She will be based in Chadwick Lawrence’s Leeds office.
Grice joins with over 10 years of experience in private client work. He specialises in wills, lasting powers of attorney, probate, estate administration, and estate planning.
He holds a law degree from The University of Bradford and completed his Legal Practice Course at BPP Law School.
He qualified as a solicitor in 2016 and has since worked across a number of firms throughout Yorkshire.
His experience includes managing residential conveyancing teams, as well as serving as partner and head of private client at his previous firm. Grice will be based at Chadwick Lawrence’s Wakefield office.
Sarah Power, partner, said: “Helena’s international background and experience with complex, high-value estates, combined with Tom’s extensive knowledge of private client work and strong track record in Yorkshire, make them excellent additions to the wills and probate team.
“Their shared commitment to delivering a high standard of client care aligns perfectly with our values, and we look forward to supporting them as they continue to develop their careers with us.”
