Switalskis has appointed two experienced wills and probate solicitors in Doncaster and Grimsby, giving clients in both communities access to specialist legal support from a nationally recognised firm.

Rebecca Parry joins Switalskis’ Doncaster office and Hannah Gamble joins its recently established Grimsby office. Both solicitors have extensive experience in private client work, advising on wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Grants of Probate and estate administration.

Rebecca has over 10 years’ experience in wills and probate. Growing up in Doncaster, Rebecca and trained at a local Doncaster firm before qualifying in 2019. She later worked in Barnsley for over five years before she joined Switalskis. Rebecca advises on all aspects of private client work, with a particular interest in estate administration, where she helps families through the practical and legal responsibilities that follow a bereavement.

Rebecca says: “I realised early in my career that this is an area of law I enjoy because of the personal nature of the work. With estate administration, I help people at a difficult time in their lives and can help take away some of the burden. I was attracted to Switalskis because of its strong reputation and commitment to having a positive impact on the local community.”

From the outskirts of Grimsby, Hannah has strong personal and professional connections in the town. Qualifying in 2023, she and joined Switalskis after 12 years with her previous firm, where she worked in its recoveries team. Hannah moved into wills and probate in 2018 after completing her graduate diploma in law ahead of qualification.

Hannah says: “I think it’s important for clients to have someone local they can sit down with face to face and talk through their circumstances. This area of law can involve very personal decisions, and people need to feel they are being listened to and given advice that is right for them. I have strong connections in Grimsby both personally and professionally, so being able to help people here is really rewarding.”

Catrin Lloyd , director and head of wills and probate at Switalskis, says: “Hannah and Rebecca bring a wealth of knowledge to the team.  

“Their appointments mean we can support more people at every stage of life, whether that’s a young family thinking about protecting their children, or people planning for later life and making sure their wishes and legacy are protected.

“They are both approachable and understand how important client care is, which makes them a perfect fit for our team.”
