Solicitor at Isla Law Limited

Ruth Pannell

Solicitor - Founder and CEO

SRA ID: 396914

Ruth founded Isla Law solicitors in 2018 with a simple mission: to make wills and probate services better. Before that, she worked as a private client solicitor in a range of roles spanning the City, large Regional practices and high street firms, where she represented all sorts of clients in wills, trusts, estate planning and probate matters. After the birth of her two daughters, one of whom has a rare genetic condition, Ruth became concerned with how complicated it was to make a will or plan your life properly in order to protect the people you care for so fiercely in life. She realised she could make the process easier and more accessible by giving her clients a direct, expert service that actually gets results. Ruth is a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and a fully accredited member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers. This means she is one of the most qualified lawyers in the country dealing with estates, trusts and matters supporting vulnerable and older people.

Will writing

5

We needed complex wills drawn up and detailed advice on options to consider throughout the process so finding the right solicitor was essential. From the initial conversation Ruth was empathic and hugely knowledgeable, we immediately felt reassured that we were in good hands.
Ruth commutation was clear and she always took time to explain points we found harder to comprehend.
Writing our wills was something we had put off purely due to the complexities we were facing but after the experience with Ruth I’m not sure why we had been so worried. It was so easy and simple.
We have already recommended Ruth to friends and family and would without doubt use her services in the future if needed.
