Morr & Co promotes two talented lawyers in the Contentious Trusts and Probate team

We are delighted to announce that Katie Woodcock has been promoted to Partner in our award winning Contentious Trusts and Probate team.

Having joined the team in 2020, Katie focuses on complex contentious trusts and probate disputes. She helps clients solve sensitive family disputes surrounding Wills, estates and trusts and has particular expertise in disputes involving vulnerable individuals.

Her impressive ability to navigate these disputes while maintaining her naturally empathetic approach has been instrumental to her success.

The Contentious Trusts and Probate team have also promoted Woodrow Cox to Associate Solicitor.

These promotions within the team further demonstrate the strengthening of our Contentious Trusts and Probate department and our ongoing investment in developing talented individuals who deliver exceptional service to our clients.

Kellie Williams-Jauvel, Head of Dispute Resolution at Morr & Co comments;

Katie’s promotion to Partner is exceptionally well-deserved and represents a significant milestone both for her career and our Contentious Trusts and Probate team. Her ability to navigate complex disputes, while maintaining absolute focus on client outcomes, embodies everything we strive for at Morr & Co. Katie has consistently demonstrated the perfect balance of technical excellence and practical, pragmatic support that our clients value so highly.

Kellie continues;

I am equally delighted to see Woodrow Cox’s progression to Associate Solicitor. His attention to detail and commercial awareness have made him a trusted advisor to many of our clients and his collaborative approach has been invaluable in many of our cross-departmental matters.

Catherine Fisher, Managing Partner at Morr & Co adds;
