Boyes Turner specialises in managing the property and affairs of high-net-worth individuals. The majority of the firm’s clients have substantial claims for personal injury or clinical negligence compensation. As well as professional deputyships, the ‘very thorough’ team is regularly approached to assist in lay deputy applications. Ruth Meyer is frequently asked to be an expert witness by other specialist court of protection and clinical negligence solicitors. Alexander Wright principally works with clients who have suffered injuries at birth. Sue Bowler joined the practice in November 2024 from Shoosmiths LLP.
