Irwin Mitchell has expanded its national private client team with the appointment of partner Ian Bond in Birmingham.

Bond joins the firm from Thursfields, where he was head of wills and estates. He specialises in trust formation and administration, wealth succession, estate planning and making wills, and is experienced in dealing with high value and complex estates.

Bond is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), the Law Society’s wills & equity committee and its private client section. He is also a trustee of the independent Law Society Charity.

He commented: '[Irwin Mitchell] has a strong reputation for successfully supporting clients with all elements of lifetime and estate planning and I’m looking forward to building on this success by extending this service to clients in Birmingham and the surrounding areas.

'I have a lot of experience in supporting clients with complex needs, and helping them plan for the future, and put my clients’ needs at the centre of everything I do. I know in joining Irwin Mitchell I will be a part of a team that shares those key values of putting clients first and ensuring the best possible outcomes for their long-term futures and their families. Knowing that we also have the advantage of will dispute and family law expertise, as well as corporate and employment law services too means that I can help clients with whatever issues they may be facing.'
