Raworths announces new leadership for award-winning team

Monday, 9 September 2024 12:48

New partners at Raworths

Harrogate-based Raworths has announced a change of leadership at the helm of its award-winning Trusts, Wills and Estates (TWE) team.

Partners Alison Walker and Sam Jenner are stepping up to take over as joint heads of the 23-strong team, which recently won ‘Out of London Practice of the Year’ at the national Chambers High Net Worth (HNW) Awards 2024.

Alison Walker, who joined Raworths in 2015, advises on all aspects of wills, trusts and wider succession, wealth structuring and tax issues, particularly for business owners.

Alison has knowledge in the administration of complex estates, with business interests and overseas property.

Sam Jenner, who has been with the firm since 2014, offers a breadth of technical expertise on complex succession planning, administration of estates, family investment companies, wills and tax.

Sam is also involved in leadership on the firm’s IT projects.

Alison commented:

“I’d like to thank Raworths for this opportunity.

Rachel has been an inspirational leader over the last ten years, and I’m looking forward to continuing to work alongside Sam to oversee the future direction of the team, whilst providing the very best service to our clients.”

Sam added:

“I have really enjoyed mentoring junior team members and as joint head of TWE, I hope to play an even bigger role in the development of the next generation of talented lawyers.

Raworths has a special culture that places value on building relationships, as a team within the firm and with our clients and referrers."

Raworths provides integrated commercial and private client services and employs more than 70 people at its Harrogate office.
