Chancery: Traditional - London (Bar)

Band 3
Individual Editorial

William East is a noted junior who has a broad traditional chancery practice and is regularly instructed in cases concerning wills, trusts, probate and estates.

Strengths

William is charming and brilliant on his feet. He knows what to say, and when and how best to say it.

William East is always top drawer on quite technical issues. He is incredibly bright and also just easy to get along with. He turns things around very quickly despite his very heavy workload.

One of the things I really value is his ability to communicate with clients, which helps them understand the advice being given. He is very good at making clients at ease and makes them think deeper.
