Leicester-based Bright Legal Solicitors and W&P Legal of Lincolnshire have announced a strategic collaboration designed to provide clients with a broad and more integrated range of legal services across England and Wales.
Bright Legal Solicitors, led by Parvien Akhtar, has earned a strong reputation in Leicester and beyond for providing expert advice across family law and litigation. W&P Legal, directed by Nick Ash, specialises in lifetime planning and estate administration, with a team known for their professional and compassionate approach.
The partnership aims deliver a comprehensive service through the firms’ combined expertise, ensuring clients have access to both general legal advice and specialist estate planning support.
“Partnering with Nick Ash and W&P Legal allows us to bring together our strengths,” said Akhtar.
“This collaboration ensures our clients receive expert guidance across all their legal needs, with the same care and professionalism they expect from us.”
Ash added:
“Welcoming Bright Legal Solicitors is the logical next step for W&P. We have specialised in wills and probate for over 20 years but for a long time now our clients have been asking us for more. Parvien and her team at Bright bring acknowledged expertise in family law, conveyancing and litigation, a perfect expansion of our portfolio of services.”
Akhtar was recently elected as a Law Society Council Member. In 2022, she was awarded Solicitor of the Year at the Leicestershire Law Society Awards.
Ash is a Society of Will Writers Professional Standards Board Member. Under his leadership, W&P Legal was shortlisted for the Best Workplace Wellbeing at the Modern Law Private Client Awards. In December 2022, he released his first book, The Probate Guide.
