Swindon law firm chosen for top professional institute

Royds Withy King has been accepted as one of only 12 solicitor firm corporate partners to the UK Institute of Legacy Management.

The Institute provides a network of support and dedicated training services to more than 500 individual legacy professionals. Legacies are responsible for over £2.4bn of charitable income each year, often the significant part.

Given they are representing a person’s final wishes, it is vital that this work is conducted with great skill and compassion. 

Royds Withy King, with offices in Swindon and Marlborough Wiltshire, advises charities on a full range of corporate and commercial issues, with specialist charity lawyers and experts in contested wills, trust and inheritance disputes. Amanda Noyce, partner, is consistently rated as one of the best solicitors in this area by independent legal directories and the team work with many charity and not-for-profit organisations.

Samantha O’Sullivan, partner and head of the charities and not-for-profit team at Royds Withy King said, “We are delighted to have been accepted as corporate members of the Institute of Legacy Management. This demonstrates their confidence in the expertise of our lawyers and our dedication to supporting our clients.”

Royds Withy King is a UK top 100 law firm with robust commercial, private client, personal injury and clinical negligence practices. The firm achieved eight top tier rankings in The Legal 500 2017 and 39 lawyers were ranked as ‘Leaders in their Field’ in Chambers & Partners UK 2018, both leading guides to the law.

The firm has been ranked for the last five years as a Sunday Times 100 Best Company to Work, and received a three star ‘extraordinary’ accreditation from Best Companies in 2017 – one of just six UK law firms to have done so.
