Canter Levin & Berg Solicitors are pleased to announce that Dawn Joughin, Head of our Private Client Department, is now a member of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists (ACTAPS).
Liverpool, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/26/2013 -- As its name suggests, the association was formed in 1997 by solicitors, legal executives and barristers working within the fields of Probate and Trust law.
The association provides a forum for legal professionals working within this specialist area of the law to exchange experience, know-how and an appreciation of the relevant laws and statutes that apply to trusts and probate cases. Its aims are to promote the enhancement of the specific skills, specialisation and expertise required, by the provision of education and training and, where possible, to enable representations to be made to the appropriate governmental and judicial bodies in relation to contentious trust and probate issues.
To qualify for membership, Dawn had to demonstrate experience working with a variety of relevant legal issues. These included probate disputes, breach of trust claims as well as conflicts and disputes involving trusts. Dawn’s membership was approved in a vote by the ACTAPS board. After finding out that her application had been approved, Dawn said:
“I was delighted to have my application for membership of ACTAPS approved by the association. Contentious Trust and Probate law is a very specialist area and as far as I am aware, I am one of only two Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists within Merseyside. Membership of ACTAPS will allow both myself and my colleagues within the Private Client team to benefit from exchanging expertise with other leading lawyers in the field, as part of the firm’s commitment to providing the very highest standards of legal advice for our clients.”
