Well-known solicitor joins Harrowells Private Client Department

A well-known Yorkshire solicitor, Mark Jones (pictured), has joined the Private Client Department at North and East Yorkshire law firm, Harrowells.

Mark Jones has more than 30 years’ experience in private client work in Yorkshire and spent 25 years as a partner in two of Harrogate’s longest-established town centre law firms as well as in a Leeds city practice.

He is among the longest serving members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), a member of the Private Client Section of the Law Society and will work out of Harrowells’ offices in Thirsk and St Saviourgate, York city centre.

His expertise includes tax planning, the creation and administration of family trusts, drafting wills and estate administration, as well as handling contentious trust and estate work for families in dispute. He also acts as a trustee, attorney and Court of Protection deputy for clients.

He says “I’ve known Harrowells from my legal training in York in the 1980s and I’ve watched with great interest as the firm has expanded in North and East Yorkshire. I’m delighted to be part of the ideal practice to meet the needs of my existing clients and contacts and be involved in its development plans.”

Harrowells Solicitors offers a wide range of legal services to commercial, farming and private clients. The firm has three offices in York and others in Easingwold, Thirsk, Malton and Pocklington.
