Coffin Mew, the UK regional solicitors, has recruited Eddie Reynolds as a solicitor in its wealth management team as part of its continued growth strategy.

In his new role, Reynolds, who has over a decade’s experience of private client work, including wills, tax, trusts and probate, will provide estate and tax planning advice to Coffin Mew’s high net worth clients.

The firm also appointed Philip Stephenson as a partner in corporate and Jonathan Lupton as a partner in insolvency. Stephenson joins from Penningtons, while Lupton was latterly with a niche insolvency practice in Yorkshire.

“These appointments are key recruitments for our business strategy and further demonstrate our commitment to the development of the firm by raising the bar on our service delivery, sector expertise, client focus and profile within the region,” Vincent Denham, the firm’s chief executive, said in a statement.

Coffin Mew has offices in Southampton, Fareham, Portsmouth and Gosport in the county of Hampshire.
