Kitsons boosts private client presence

Devon law firm Kitsons has enhanced its private client offering in the city with the addition of two experienced lawyers to its private client team and the launch of a weekly drop-in legal surgery. These steps reinforce Kitsons’ strong commitment to Exeter and its desire to offer clients in the area a complete service.

Headed up by private client specialist and partner Simon Armitage, Associates Charlie Siegle and Stephen Craig have joined Simon in Kitsons’ Exeter office to further develop the department in the city.

To celebrate the expansion, Kitsons’ private client department is launching a weekly legal surgery in its Exeter office (The Forum, Barnfield Road) from Thursday 14th November, between 12.00pm and 2.00pm every Thursday, offering those in the Exeter area a free 30 minute no obligation consultation for wills, powers of attorney, probate and trusts & taxes. The team is encouraging people to pop-in on the day, or to avoid disappointment, make an appointment by calling Kitsons on 01392 455555.

James Cross, Managing Partner at Kitsons said: “This is an exciting time for the firm, Kitsons is expanding and evolving. Charlie’s relocation to the firm’s Exeter office adds further weight to Kitsons’ private client offering in Exeter. His wealth of expertise in contentious probate, as well as his knowledge of wills, probate and powers of attorney will provide strong support for Simon and Stephen.”

Charlie Siegle, Associate at Kitsons added: “I am excited by the opportunity to work in Exeter again and to further develop the private client team alongside Simon and Stephen. Exeter is a fantastic city and I look forward to helping people in the area with their private client issues.”

Simon Armitage, previously of Armitage & Co, joined Kitsons in June 2013 having operated as a sole practitioner in Exeter for over 30 years specialising in probate and residential conveyancing work.
