Ruth Pannell

Founder and CEO

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

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.

A Very Helpful, Honest and Friendly Solicitor

Isla Law Solicitors was recommended to me, and I would in turn recommend this firm to others. I met with Ruth Pannell on several occasions, in order to draw up a Deed of Variation and then my Will. Each time I found Ruth to be very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Between meetings, regular contact was maintained via email, with both Ruth Pannell and her Legal Assistant, Evie Craig, who was also most helpful and professional.

A superb balance of professionalism and warm, approachable support

We have recently worked with Ruth and the team at Isla Law for our late parents estate matters and for drafting our Wills. Ruth was superb, bringing a compassionate stance, balanced with professionalism and the utmost efficiency. The portal that Isla Law use is incredibly user friendly and we found it very helpful to keep communication and document sharing all in one accessible place. The one thing that stood out, is that whatever questions we had, they were always answered with warmth and accuracy. Thank you for your support Ruth and team, it’s greatly appreciated.
