Associate Chartered Legal Executive at Blanchards Bailey LLP

Lauren May

Associate Chartered Legal Executive

Since re-joining Blanchards Bailey in 2020, I have been working in the Private Client team in the firm's Poundbury office . I qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2017, but have worked in Private Client for 18 years in various guises. I specialise in Wills, Powers of Attorney, Estate Planning and Deputyship Applications. I also have a keen interest in Elderly Client work. This depth of experience ensures I can advise on complex Will and Estate Planning matters, including advising clients on how best to mitigate their Inheritance Tax liability. I pride myself on being friendly and approachable, whilst helping my clients to navigate their way through complex legal issues to achieve their goals as quickly as possible. I am incredibly client focussed and my priority is ensuring my clients feel at ease from the first meeting through to the conclusion of their matter.

Pleasant and helpful

Lauren May was able to see me in Weymouth at a convenient location and took great trouble with my Will and Power of Attorney. I found her very approachable and helpful. I would certainly recommend Blanchards Bailey.

Efficient and reassuring

I've instructed Blanchards, including Lauren, for several issues over the last 12-18 months and have received prompt, reassuring and efficient service from all, but also with very good understanding and empathy. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I am pleased with the work that Lauren has done , but wish that probate could have gone through quicker there seem to have been a lot of waiting around for H M R C to get back to Lauren and maybe a phone call to HMRC could have been made sooner.
