Clough & Willis grows Private Client team with new solicitor appointment

Bury and Bolton-based law firm Clough & Willis has grown its Private Client department after appointing Ryan Browne as its newest solicitor.

Ryan joins Clough & Willis from Myerson Solicitors. Prior to that, he worked in Co-op Legal Services’ Probate Department for five years. He will report into Nicola Finbow who is a partner at the firm and head of its Private Client team.

Ryan studied for a Bachelor of Laws degree at London Metropolitan University where he attained a First-Class Honours. He then completed his Legal Practice Course at The University of Law in 2019.

Ryan’s new role will see him focus on the drafting of Wills as well as Estate Administration, Grant Applications, Inheritance Tax Returns, Deputyships and Lasting Powers of Attorney.

Ryan said: “At my first interview, it became quickly apparent that Clough & Willis was a firm that had established roots in the local community and shared my strong client-focused way of working. I wanted my next career move to reflect my values and I knew instantly the fit was right.”

Nicola Finbow added: “Ryan has a great track record in the Private Client sector and is committed to delivering an unwaveringly high level of client servicing. That approach, along with his technical knowledge, really stood out so we are delighted to welcome him. I’m confident he will become an integral part of the business.”
