Thompson Smith and Puxon are pleased to announce the arrival of Solicitor Ivana Sidey into the firm’s Wills & Estates team. Her appointment brings the total number of team members to seven. This week also saw Trainee Solicitor Sorrel Macey take her first seat within the department.
Based in TSP’s Colchester office, Ivana undertakes all kinds of Private Client work, reaching from Wills, to Lasting Power of Attorneys and Probate matters. She is able to provide estate planning and IHT advice to high net worth clients, as well as individuals, families and the elderly.
With a background in journalism, and having previously worked as a magazine editor, Ivana brings a unique set of skills to her Private Client work, which will benefit clients and colleagues alike.

Commenting on Ivana’s appointment, Robert Ashworth, Head of TSP’s Wills & Estates team, said: “Thompson Smith and Puxon’s highly regarded Private Client team has gone from strength to strength over the last six months, with Ivana making the third new lawyer to join in this short time frame. For a team that place client care at the top of their agenda, we have no doubt that Ivana will prove to be an asset.”
Of her appointment, Ivana said: “I am proud to join a team renowned for their expertise in complex and high value legal affairs. Their presence across North Essex combined with their reputation for technical excellence, drew me to the team. Rooted in the local community, the team’s ties with the Colchester Dementia Friendly Community align with my own connections to the Alzheimer’s Society – I wanted to work for a business whose values I shared. I look forward to starting the next chapter of my career at the firm.”
