Ashley Wallace-Cook

I am based in the firm’s Gloucester office. I qualified as a solicitor initially in Scotland in 2001 and then in England & Wales in 2003, having previously read natural sciences at university and undertaken research as a molecular geneticist.

I have advised clients  on a variety of private client work, including the preparation of Wills (from the straightforward to the more complex), Lasting Powers of Attorney, the administration of estates and trusts (including creation and management) and on aspects of family and inheritance tax planning. My current focus is the administration of estate.

I am a Full Accredited Member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers (formerly Solicitors for the Elderly), a specialist group of lawyers focussing on supporting older and vulnerable people. I was admitted as a Member of The Society of Writers to His Majesty’s Signet (a historic, private corporate body of Scottish solicitors dating back to 1594) in 2023.

I aim to make clients feel at ease, particularly at moments in their lives which may be difficult or challenging and sometimes emotional, and to offer practical, jargon-free advice.

I am keen on travelling, horse racing and other equestrian activities.
