Law firm Wansbroughs welcomes three new staff to private client team

Devizes-based law firm Wansbroughs has welcomed three new staff members to its private client team.

James Pratt (right) joins Wansbroughs as an Australian (Qld) Qualified Lawyer and covers all areas of private client law.

Named as a Rising Star in the Australian legal directory, Doyle’s Guide, in 2022, James’s recognition highlights his exceptional legal expertise, dedication to his clients and reputation as an emerging leader in his field.

Daniel Shutt (left) joins the firm from a national law firm as a professional support lawyer.

Daniel brings with him specialist knowledge of offshore matters, which will be of particular benefit to the firm’s clients.

And Jenny Hiscock (centre) joins the private client team as a compliance and administration assistant, an extremely important role in a world of ever-increasing compliance obligations.

As well as welcoming these new team members, 1 January 2025 marked the qualification of home-grown talent Melissa Roberts, who is now a fully-fledged solicitor.

Melissa joined the firm in 2021, and completed her training with the firm, so already has plenty of experience advising clients on all private client matters.

Kathryn Smith Cowap, partner, said: “We are thrilled to welcome James, Daniel and Jenny, and congratulate Melissa on qualifying as a solicitor.

“This is an exciting time to join the private client team as we continue to grow.

“These latest appointments will have a transformative impact on the firm and its clients, strengthening the team’s legal expertise and expanding our client service offering.”
