New Private Client Solicitor at Poundbury

Lawyer Samantha Melville has joined Pengillys in the Poundbury office.

She has joined the firm's private client department.  Her appointment continues the expansion of the firm's Dorchester office at Challacombe House in Beechwood Square.

Samantha specialises in wills, inheritance tax planning, probate, powers of attorney and elderly client advice.

She previously works for a large Bournemouth firm.

Mike Edmonds, who is the resident partner at the Poundbury office, said: "Although the office opened only a little over a year ago I soon relaised there was a tremendous demand for work of this type, and we needed someone permanently based at Poundbury to deal with this demand.  To have secured Samantha's services is a real bonus."

"She has considerable expertise and great enthusiasm, but at the same time is friendly and approachable, qualities which often make all the difference to clients in this area of the law."
