Maddie praised by award judges for going “above and beyond” for clients

Judges said Maddie had “gone above and beyond for often vulnerable, elderly clients” and had “taken the initiative to reform and reshape policies and procedures to give a more seamless client journey.”

Maddie, who specialises in private client work, creating wills, lasting powers of attorney, and trusts, said she was “incredibly proud” to have achieved her goal in qualifying as a solicitor.

She added: “I thoroughly enjoy the work that I do on a day-to-day basis.

“It can be very rewarding assisting the elderly and sometimes vulnerable clients in matters that can often be daunting or distressing to them.

“I always endeavour to make the process as smooth as possible for them, so it is a huge honour to be recognised for my efforts with this award, which also puts me in good stead for my future career.”

Maddie joined Adcocks Solicitors in June 2018. Having achieved a BA degree in English from the University of Nottingham and LLM Master of Laws from Birmingham City University, Maddie was taken on as a permanent member of the Adcocks’ team.  Maddie went on to pass her Legal Practice Course (LPC) with a distinction and began her training contract in 2021.

Head of Adcocks’ Private Client and Family department Kerry Davies, who has supported Maddie on her journey as her training principal, said: “Maddie is extremely dedicated and hard-working and has always gone over and above in her commitment and service to our clients.
