Solicitor

Contact Jade

I am a Solicitor based at our Leigh office specialising in Family and Private Client matters.

I originally joined the firm in 2017 and completed my Training Contract here before qualifying as a Solicitor in 2019. I returned to the firm in July 2022 after a brief period away.

My areas of expertise include:

  • Wills and Inheritance Tax planning;
  • Estate administration –Probate and Letters of Administration including high value estates;
  • Trusts and trust administration;
  • Tax planning;
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney; and
  • Court of Protection applications.
  • Divorces
  • Financial disputes following separation or divorce
  • Disputes regarding children
  • Cohabitation disputes
  • Other privately funded family matters

I like to provide an efficient and straight forward-service to my clients. I aim to be clear and concise when providing advice to ensure my clients have a thorough understanding of the matter, without being bombarded or confused by the legal jargon. I am approachable, friendly and like to maintain a familiarity with my clients so they always feel comfortable to return for further help should they require it in the future. I find this to be the key to working in one of our smaller branches.

In my spare time I am part of a local theatre group and enjoy performing in several productions a year. I also enjoy visiting new places and walking my crazy cockapoo Archie with my family. Any spare time I have other than that I like to relax with a good book or binge watch a TV series.

What our clients say about Jade

Our appointment was arranged with Sophie, initially reading matters of Probate for my Late Mum, then to renew and update my Will and that of my wife. Sophie was courteous and understanding, and advised us on the steps to be taken. Probate has been granted in record time, in proof that all preliminary works have been completed correctly and efficiently by Sophie. Our Wills are more complex than a standard persons and involve trading companies and building assets. Sophie and Jade advised us in a proper and legal way including issues we had not taken into consideration. We will definitely work with members of Butcher & Barlow again with any issues of a legal/personal nature.

Mr and Mrs Baines

We recently instructed Butcher & Barlow to write a Will for my 94 year old mother. We arranged a home visit and were visited by Jade Kay. Mum is extremely hard of hearing and Jade was brilliant at communicating with her. Jade was patient and understanding. She explained everything in detail and made sure mum was happy with everything. Excellent service and happy to recommend.

Miss B

I am very grateful for your help following the death of my husband. Every member of your staff I came into contact with was professional, efficient and kind. Thank you.

Mrs LJB

Jade at Butcher & Barlow helped us with the process of applying for Deputyship for a family member. From the outset, the whole process and fees were explained fully to us. We were kept informed throughout the whole process and would recommend Butcher & Barlow in the future.

J & M

I am very satisfied with the service I received from Butcher & Barlow. First of all my Will writing which was done very quickly. Then there was my Lasting Power of Attorney which was also done very efficiently. I am very happy with both of the papers that I have received.

A Ward
