Megan Paul has joined LCF Law’s Bradford office as a solicitor in its personal law team.

She joins from Irwin Mitchell in Leeds and specialises in producing statutory wills, for people who lack the capacity to make a will themselves, and court of protection work.

Neil Shaw, a partner at LCF Law and head of the firm’s personal law team, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Megan to our team.  She has a strong track record working across a wide range of areas and there’s no doubt her expertise in both statutory wills and court of protection work will make her a valuable asset within our team.”
