Sophie Shirley, paralegal for later life planning in Cambridge

How can I help you? 

With extensive experience in Private Client Law, I provide comprehensive legal advice tailored to individuals and families. My expertise encompasses a wide range of services, including the drafting of wills, the set up and administration of trusts, the preparation of lasting powers of attorney, administration of deceased estates, and applications to the Court of Protection. I am dedicated to safeguarding my clients’ financial futures and ensuring their wishes are clearly defined and protected.

I joined Tees in 2012 in an administrative role and then took up a Paralegal position in the team whilst completing my legal training. Since qualifying as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2022, I have helped clients navigate the complexities of these various areas. I understand the deeply personal nature of these matters, and I approach each case with empathy and precision, reflecting each client’s unique circumstances and long-term objectives.

Focused on delivering what truly matters to you

Whether it’s guiding families through sensitive probate processes or developing strategies to preserve and transfer wealth across generations, I’m committed to delivering clear, effective advice in the most compassionate and professional manner. My goal is to provide peace of mind and clarity to clients during pivotal moments in their lives.

Sophie Shirley was extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for her to explain, and she was very patient. It was always a pleasure to talk with her and to meet her at the office as and when necessary. I had quite a lot of queries, and she always remained calm and very efficient.

Sophie Shirley was highly professional and efficient. She was always very reachable and went above and beyond to assist me when we had a few unfortunate delays in dealing with the sale of my late father's house. It was a stressful time, and Sophie put my mind at ease the entire time. She wrote to parties requesting extensions for repayment of equity release, etc., all this she offered to do herself to help us as much as possible. I could not fault Sophie and would recommend her to anyone.
