OLS Solicitors is pleased to announce that Sian Jones will be joining our Llanelli office as our newest Trainee Solicitor, starting on 26th August 2024. Sian, who began her legal career with a training contract in October 2022, has now chosen to continue her training with us, and we are delighted to welcome her to our team.

Sian graduated from Swansea University in the summer of 2022 with a 2:1 in Law LLB. She is currently balancing her training contract with ongoing studies in Legal Practice and Advanced Drafting as part of her LLM Masters. Her academic and practical experience position her as a promising future solicitor within our Llanelli office.

Sian has a particular interest in Equine Law, an area she is passionate about and has explored extensively, having written her dissertation on this subject. She will be looking to help expand our firm’s equine law offering, bringing her niche expertise and dedication to this specialised field. Her involvement will enhance our ability to serve clients in the equine industry, and we are excited to support her in this endeavour.

Outside of her legal career, Sian is an accomplished equestrian, regularly competing in eventing. She has proudly represented Wales as a member of the Welsh team, showcasing her commitment and drive both in and out of the office.

We are thrilled to have Sian join our Llanelli office and look forward to seeing her grow and succeed within our firm.

OLS Solicitors Champions Community Spirit Through Will Aid Initiative

In an inspiring show of community support and philanthropy, OLS Solicitors, with offices in Llanelli and Swindon, has once again demonstrated its commitment to charitable causes by raising an impressive £8,510 in this year’s Will Aid campaign. This remarkable achievement not only underscores the firm’s dedication to social responsibility but also marks them as the highest donating firm in the region.

Since 2019, OLS Solicitors has actively participated in the annual Will Aid initiative, a nationwide campaign that encourages solicitors to offer their will-writing services in exchange for charitable donations. Over the years, their total contribution has reached an outstanding £12,530. The firm’s approach involves waiving their usual fees for basic wills and instead inviting clients to make a donation. This innovative method of fundraising has proven highly effective, benefiting a variety of partner charities both within the UK and globally.

Lara Davies, a Director at OLS Solicitors, expressed her pride in the firm’s involvement: “We are thrilled to lead the way as the highest donating firm in Wales. It is a source of great pride for our entire team to contribute to Will Aid. We are particularly pleased to provide so many individuals with the peace of mind that comes from having a professionally crafted will.”

The success of the campaign at OLS Solicitors is a testament to the collective effort of its dedicated staff. “Participating in Will Aid has been a rewarding experience for all of us. It’s wonderful to know that our efforts will aid deserving charities that make a significant difference in people’s lives, both locally and abroad,” Lara added.

Will Aid has been an influential force since its inception in 1988, raising over £24 million in donations. This funding supports crucial and life-changing work carried out by its partner charities. Jonathan Chase, chair of Will Aid, praised the firm’s contributions: “Congratulations to the team at OLS Solicitors for such a fantastic result this year. It’s heartening to see legal professionals lend their expertise to such a worthy cause, ensuring peace of mind for their clients while supporting vital charity work.”

Peter de Vena Franks, Will Aid’s campaign director, also commended the collective effort: “This year’s campaign was a great team effort. Thanks to everyone at OLS Solicitors who dedicated their time and expertise. Your generosity helps uphold the wishes of many while supporting the transformative work of our partner charities.”

The Will Aid campaign runs each November, with solicitors across the country offering to draft basic wills in exchange for a suggested donation, fostering a spirit of generosity and community assistance. At OLS Solicitors, the tradition of giving and community service continues to thrive, proving that even the most routine legal services can be a powerful tool for social good.

OLS Solicitors, one of the leading family law firms in the Swindon area, is delighted to announce that it has become the main shirt sponsor for Swindon Supermarine Rugby Club under 12’s. As part of its commitment to supporting local communities and promoting healthy and active lifestyles, OLS Solicitors has provided funding for the team’s match shirts for the upcoming season.

Encouraging Sports for a Healthier and Happier Society

Investing in Local Community

We are proud to invest in our local community by sponsoring the Swindon Supermarine Rugby Club under 12’s. As a firm, we believe in supporting local clubs and organisations and encouraging young people to participate in sports and recreational activities.

Supporting Swindon Supermarine Rugby Club

Swindon Supermarine Rugby Club is a fantastic, grassroots rugby club that is dedicated to providing opportunities for young people to participate in the sport. The under 12’s team is an integral part of the club, and we are delighted to be supporting them as their main shirt sponsor for the upcoming season.

Swindon Supermarine Rugby Club expressed its gratitude for the sponsorship, noting that it would not have been possible without the support of OLS Solicitors. The club’s members are looking forward to representing the firm in their new uniforms and are excited to compete in the upcoming season.
