LAW firm Davidson McDonnell has launched a new private client team, which will be led by ex-London partner Victoria Sterritt.
She will be joined in the private client team by senior solicitors Rachael McKee and Sara Ord, who both have more than 20 years’ specialist experience.
The specialist solicitors in the private client team are trusted family advisers, respected for their uncompromising work protecting the interests and wealth of individuals and their families in Northern Ireland and in England.
The team has extensive experience across a broad spectrum of specialist private client areas including family and matrimonial, trusts and estate planning, succession planning, wills and probate, and residential property.
While Davidson McDonnell has been expertly servicing private clients for nearly a decade, the team under Victoria Sterritt’s lead brings a new, dedicated focus in the area, combining innovative working practices, a personable approach and expert legal advice to create a progressive force in this area.

The firm also regularly engages with wealth managers, accountants, tax specialists and other independent experts to ensure the provision of a premium, bespoke and holistic service.
