Duo join law firm

A Shropshire law firm has bolstered its wills, probate and lifetime planning team with the appointment of two experienced solicitors. 

Graham Fuller has joined FBC Manby Bowdler as a senior associate with Carina Kervin taking up a role as an associate. They will both be based in the firm’s Shrewsbury office.

Graham and Carina are both members of Solicitors for the Elderly and panel solicitors for MENCAP and the National Autistic Society. 

Graham is also a Dementia Friend, member of the Society of Trusts and Estate Practitioners, and is currently studying to join the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate solicitors. He was the head of a private client department for a Wiltshire based law firm before moving to FBC Manby Bowdler. 

Carina, a graduate of Lancaster University and the Chester Law School, is a Dementia Champion who delivers training for the Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Friends scheme. 

Both will deal with a range of private client matters including wills, powers of attorney, care fees, tax planning and probate. 

Julie Burn, lead partner for the wills, probate and lifetime planning team, said: “Graham and Carina bring a wealth of experience to the firm and we are delighted to have them on board. 

“Their appointments will reinforce an already strong team that focuses on providing first class legal advice and support to our clients at pivotal points in their life. 

“Their knowledge of their sector is widespread, as demonstrated by their charitable work and additional memberships. They are clearly invested in being able to give the best possible level of service, which is central to our offering as a law firm.”
