THEY might both be legal and blond, but any connection with a certain film would be well wide of the mark. For the two new lawyers in the wills and estates team of law firm Thursfields are experts in their field. Zoe Perry has joined company at its Worcester office, while Kelly Hurst is based in Halesowen.

Miss Perry said: "Kelly and I might both be fair haired, but we plan to dispel the stereotype of being ‘legally blonde’ as we offer our clients sound legal advice on a range of issues." She has worked in legal practice for nearly 10 years and advises on all areas of wills, powers of attorney and estates and has a particular specialism in trusts, an area which is growing within Thursfields.

Miss Hurst also has significant experience in wills and powers of attorney. Her particular expertise is in administering estates, after spending three years tackling complex cases for a well known legal service provider.

Thursfields managing partner Nick O’Hara said: "We hope Zoe and Kelly will continue to shine and add vitality in helping clients in this emotive area of law."
