Senior-led private client guidance, precisely when it matters most.

Blackstone Probate Law grew from a straightforward belief: that private client work - the wills, the lasting powers of attorney, the probate applications, the trusts and, at times, the disputes that follow - deserves the same seniority and care people expect from the largest commercial firms. Founded in 2009 as the private client team at Blackstone Solicitors, we set out to offer clear, senior-led advice to families and individuals across England and Wales, from offices in Manchester and London. That same intent still shapes every conversation we have today, and it underpins the UK-wide private client advice we provide.

The team is led by Safia Iftikhar (SRA 812098), whose work across wills, probate, trusts, LPAs and contested estates has helped shape the firm's reputation. That reputation has been independently recognised - Blackstone was named a Legal 500 UK Leading Firm in 2022 - and our commentary on private client matters has been sought by the BBC, the Financial Times, the Guardian and the Times. We think being nationally trusted matters most in the quieter moments: when a homemade will is being questioned, when a family is facing intestacy, or when someone simply wants to plan properly for the years ahead.

What has not changed since 2009 is how we begin. Every matter starts with a no-obligation initial discussion, so you can speak to a specialist, understand where you stand, and decide what to do next without pressure. If we can help, we will say so plainly; if another route suits you better, we will say that too. You can reach us on 0330 808 0849.
