Vanessa Santomauro, private client and notarial services solicitor at Tees Law

Biography

I joined Tees as an Associate in the Private Client team in September 2024, having previously worked for more than a decade in a regional firm spanning Essex and Suffolk.  I qualified as a solicitor in 2010 and have specialised in Private Client matters, such as Wills, Probate, Powers of Attorney, Deputyships and related matters since 2012.

I am a Full Member of the Society for Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and also an Accredited Member of The Association of Lifetime Lawyers (formerly known as Solicitors for the Elderly).

Delivering what you need

It is important for clients to feel at ease and that they can discuss what are often personal and sensitive matters comfortably with me .  I aim to provide clients with a friendly service and to give legal advice in simple terms.

Expertise

I've never found an area where Tees have been unable to help. There is considerable strength across the organisation. Individuals have good contacts outside of their practice area. I have always found Tees accessible and helpful.

Further information

I qualified as a notary public in 2024 and operate my own notarial business independently of Tees.  Notaries are qualified lawyers who belong to the smallest yet oldest branch of the legal profession in England and Wales.

I am fluent in Italian and studied Italian law at the University of Bologna.

Outside of work, I enjoy time with my rescue dogs Snoopy and Poppy, the theatre, exercise classes and travelling.
