The private client practice at Blanchards Bailey LLP is divided into three specialist teams: wills and estate planning, probate and estate administration and elderly and vulnerable client work. Jerome Dodge oversees the wider team, primarily assisting high-net worth individuals, many of whom have an agricultural background. Emma Needham heads the wills and trusts team in Blanford and Catherine Roberts leads the probate team in Dorchester. Sophie Lawrence is well-regarded for her work on Court Protection matters.
