Boodle Hatfield, the private client law firm, has expanded its contentious trusts and estates team with the appointment of solicitor Mark Lindley.

Lindley joins from Penningtons and has experience in advising clients on contentious matters including disputes between trustees and beneficiaries, challenges to the validity of wills, professional negligence and disputed applications in the Court of Protection. 

“The demand for our services is growing considerably and disputes are becoming increasingly complex,” said Simon Rylatt, a partner and head of Boodle Hatfield’s contentious trusts and estates team.

Boodle Hatfield is a 33-partner law firm, which practices from offices in central London and Oxford. Its main departments are property, private client and tax, corporate, family, litigation and employment.
