Vicki McKenzie

Legal Director

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a Legal Director within the Private Client Team, having joined the company in June 2026, following the merger of my family legal business (McKenzie Law) with Higgs. My career path to Higgs has been an interesting one. Having initially trained and worked for 7 years with a large regional West Midlands practice, I then worked for a large Shropshire law firm, where I became a partner and ultimately led their prominent private client team. After 9 years there, I decided it was time/ overdue to be bold. I joined my husband Niels, who had set up a niche legal practice in Shrewsbury, and together, alongside Laura Pugh, we built and ran our small specialist law firm for 14 years. We have been fortunate to act for many interesting and affluent individuals, charities, and businesses in both Shropshire and beyond during this time. It was a privilege to be able to work together over these years, setting the standard high, caring about colleagues and clients, and not needing to ask anyone’s permission to bring our whippet to work. The decision to join Higgs was made very carefully and over an extended period. We had been working with the Higgs Contentious Probate Team for several years, referring our clients for legal services that our niche firm didn’t provide, so in many ways, joining Higgs was a natural choice for us. I am excited to continue my career with Higgs, knowing I have joined a team of highly regarded lawyers with shared professional values. I am a full member of STEP (the Society of Trusts and Estate Practitioners) and of Lifetime Lawyers (previously SFE).
