Two solicitors from Gamlins Law have been appointed as panel deputies by the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).
Ron Davison, managing partner, and director Dafydd Roberts will significantly strengthen local access to specialist support for some of the region’s most vulnerable people, the firm said.
Founded in 1889, Gamlins Law advises individuals and families on wills, trusts, lasting powers of attorney and Court of Protection matters from its network of offices across North Wales.
The appointments will enhance the support available through its established private client team, the firm said, by offering clients “access to recognised experts trusted by the court to manage complex and sensitive situations”.
“I am incredibly proud to have been appointed alongside Dafydd to such a respected panel,” Davison said.
“It reflects the trust placed in our lawyers, the quality of our Court of Protection work, and the commitment we have to supporting vulnerable people across North Wales.
“This is an important recognition for the firm, but more importantly it ensures that individuals in our community have access to skilled and compassionate support when they need it most.”
Roberts added:
“Being appointed as a panel deputy is a privilege. The work is challenging but deeply rewarding, and you meet people at what can be a very stressful and uncertain time in their lives.
“I’m proud to play a part in helping individuals and families across North Wales feel supported, protected and reassured about their future.”
There are around 70 panel deputies across England and Wales, with only a small number in Wales. Appointments follow a rigorous assessment process, testing both professional expertise and the ability to handle complex, sensitive and often low-asset or pro bono cases.
Panel deputies are appointed for a 10-year term and are expected to take on a varied caseload.
