Ayla Clissold and Katie Hancock who have both been promoted to Senior Associate level from this New Year.
Katie joined the Private Client team in 2018. As part of that team, she deals with all aspects of Private Client work, including the preparation of Wills, probate, lasting powers of attorney (LPAs) and deputyship applications to the Court of Protection, where a relative has lost the capacity to manage their own affairs.
A client said recently: “Katie, you’re always helpful, always reply promptly and you’ve taken a lot of the stress out of this process.”
Over recent times, she’s helped to organise CooperBurnett's popular myth busting lunches and also given up her time to support the Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells Dementia Friendly Communities.
Ayla Clissold joined the firm's busy Residential Property team in January 2022. She thrives on the regular contact with clients and finding solutions to any challenges.
As one client said recently: “Ayla is, quite simply, incredible! Her work ethic is on another level and we will be forever grateful for her help and support. She is one in a million. Professional, efficient and all done with a great sense of humour.”
Ayla joined CooperBurnett's Charity Committee recently and is always first to sign up to one of the firm's challenges – completing the Walk Tonbridge Marathon a number of times and conquering an incredible 100km in a single day as part of our Race to the King team!
“I think our clients sum up perfectly what makes Katie and Ayla so special,” says Partner, Joseph Oates. “They thoroughly deserve these promotions and we are proud to have them as part of TeamCB.”
