SALISBURY legal firm Sampson Coward LLP has welcomed a new member to its team.

Karen Perugini, who has more than 13 years’ experience working as a solicitor in the area, will head its wills and probate department.

She was educated locally at South Wilts Grammar School and studied law at University College London before undertaking her training at a local solicitors practice.

Karen said “I am really looking forward to joining Sampson Coward.

“Having worked for the same law firm for many years, I am keen to take up the opportunity of being part of a growing law firm who are highly regarded in the Salisbury area.”

She will be advising on the protection of assets, preparing wills, inheritance tax, probate and administering estates upon death, as well as powers of attorney.

Partner David Coward said “We are delighted that Karen is going to head up our wills and probate department. The quality of her work is well renowned and her expertise will help many individuals with organising personal financial arrangements that can sometimes be hard to consider.”
