Thrings has strengthened its leading Private Client team with the appointment of a new Partner in its Lydney office.

Having expanded to Lydney and Ross-on-Wye through its merger with Okells FrancisLaw in 2022, Thrings is continuing to strengthen its presence in the Severn and Wye valleys with key appointments to its teams, benefitting its clients across the South West.

Ben said: “I am delighted to join a firm with the reputation Thrings has for putting clients first. Private Client law is wide-ranging, but it consists of some of the most personal matters to individuals and families and we take the responsibility very seriously in ensuring our clients receive the best care and advice.”
