Berlad Graham Employee Spotlight

At Berlad Graham, our people’s experience and personality play an important role in the service we provide to our clients. For this employee spotlight, we spoke with Hannah Price, Partner at the firm, and a solicitor in our Private Client department.

Hannah has been a solicitor for more than 20 years, having qualified in 2002. Her legal career has taken her from London to Birmingham and Bridgnorth, with time away from the profession to raise her family, before joining Berlad Graham in May 2025, and more recently becoming a Partner.

For Hannah, Private Client law has always been about the people she helps, from assisting someone with their first Will or Lasting Power of Attorney to supporting a family through the administration of an estate. She is passionate about her work and values helping clients make important decisions and put their affairs in order.

We caught up with Hannah to find out more about her career journey so far, what she enjoys about Private Client work, life at Berlad Graham, and what she hopes to achieve next.

Meet Hannah Price – Partner in our Private Client Team

Can you tell us a Little About Yourself and Your Role at Berlad Graham?

I have been a solicitor since 2002. I joined Berlad Graham in May 2025, and I recently became a partner. I work in the Private Client department alongside my colleagues, Liora Torn-Hibler and Daniel Brown. – Read more about Hannah here: Meet the Team – Hannah Price.

You Qualified as a Solicitor Back In 2002. What First Drew You to Law, And to Private Client Work in Particular?

I either wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer, but sciences were never my strong point, so I naturally gravitated to law.

I initially began my career doing both property and private client work. However, quite early on, I realised that I preferred Private Client more.

What Does Your Journey to Where You Are Today Look Like, And What Have Been the Highlights Along the Way?

After qualifying, I briefly worked for a firm in London, then returned to Birmingham to the firm where I had previously worked for and qualified. I stayed there until 2011. I was then lucky enough to get a job at a provincial firm in Bridgnorth closer to home, where I was very happy and stayed until 2017 when my youngest daughter was born. After a period of extended maternity leave (I had 4 children at that time!), I returned to that firm in 2020, just as COVID hit.

After More Than Two Decades in the Profession, What Still Excites You About the Work You Do?

The clients, because my area of law is all about the people and making sure that someone’s affairs are in order, whether that’s during their lifetime or planning for after death. I will also never tire of helping people.

I also enjoy that as a solicitor we are always learning and growing in knowledge. That there is always something we can learn and learn from.

Spotlight on the Private Client department

For Anyone Who Hasn’t Come Across It Before, How Would You Describe the Private Client Department and the Work it does?

Private Client encompasses many things, but I would probably describe it as ‘the people department’. A department that services a client’s personal needs whether that is in the preparation of Wills, Estate Planning (including Inheritance Tax planning), Lasting Powers of Attorney, Trusts, Court of Protection matters in respect of a person who has lost capacity to make decisions for themselves, Elderly Care Home fees, and the administration of a person’s estate after they have passed away including applying for Probate or Letters of Administration in order for the representatives to formally deal with a person’s estate.

Private Client Covers a Broad Range, From Wills and Estate Planning to Lasting Powers of Attorney, Probate and Estate Administration. Where Does Your Own Work Tend to Focus, and are There Any Specialist Areas You’re Especially Known For?

My job is varied, and I always have a mix of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection and Estate Administration work.

Much Of This Work Happens at Significant or Sensitive Moments in People’s Lives. How Does the Team Approach Supporting Clients with Care and Clarity?

Our aim is always to provide a service to our clients that is filled with care, compassion, patience and understanding.

What Do You Think Sets the Berlad Graham Private Client Team Apart in the Way it Looks After Clients?

I think the Private Client Department is exceptional in its compassionate and sensitive way in which we deal with all of our clients.

Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Planning Ahead

Why is It So Important for People to Get Proper Advice on Things Like Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, And What Do You Wish More People Knew?

I think many people have a misconception that a Will is just for older people, but the reality is that no one truly knows what’s round the corner, and sadly death can come to anyone of whatever age. It is therefore essential that a person makes a Will to ensure that their estate passes to the person or persons whom they wish to benefit. Otherwise, the Intestacy Rules will come into play, and someone’s hard earned estate may end up in the hands of someone who they don’t want it to.

Lasting Powers of Attorney are also essential. And I would recommend that everyone at least considers putting them in place. Again, this is not age specific as a stroke, dementia, brain injury or other limiting illness can strike anyone at any age.

Life in the Private Client Team

How Would You Describe the Team You Work with Day to Day?

The Private Client Department is headed by the wonderful Liora Torn-Hibler, a very experienced solicitor who is dedicated to giving a first-class service to all her clients. Her knowledge is extensive; she is detailed and compassionate and takes time to understand her client’s individual needs so that she can provide a first-class service to them. If I needed a Private Client solicitor, she would definitely be my top choice.

We also have Daniel Brown, our trainee solicitor, who is due to qualify around February 2027. Daniel is learning the ropes and is proving to be a very good addition to our team.

A Partner’s Perspective on Berlad Graham

Berlad Graham Was Founded In 2011 With the Idea of Combining a Modern, Innovative Approach with the Strengths of a Traditional Firm. What Does That Look Like in Practice, and Why Does it Appeal to You?

Berlad Graham is very much a family. For our consultant solicitors, the set up allows them to have a successful career working whatever hours they desire, offering true flexibility and the ability to work around their existing family and personal commitments. It allows solicitors to be in the driving seat of their own career and earnings.

The Firm Is Built on Three Pillars: Innovation, Integrity and Results. How Do Those Values Show Up in Your Work and Your Department?

Innovation – thinking outside of the box with regard to nurturing external referral relationships.

Integrity – always upholding good core values, and always doing what is best for the client.

Results – results will naturally follow if you are constantly reviewing and adapting to changing markets and if you work hard with honesty and integrity.

As a Senior Figure at the Firm, What Do You Enjoy Most About Helping Shape the Department and Supporting Those Around You?

I very much enjoy the pastoral side. I strongly believe that you get the best out of people if they feel valued and nurtured.

What Advice Would You Give to a Lawyer Earlier in Their Career Who Hopes to Reach a Similar Position One Day?

Work hard and never give up on your dreams. Some doors may close, but others will open. And don’t be afraid to take a step – no one has ever failed for trying.

A Bit More About Hannah

What Were You Like at School, and Which Subjects Did You Enjoy Most?

I loved school and some days wish that I could go back to that time. My favourite subjects were PE (especially cross country and netball), Geography, English and Maths.

If You Hadn’t Gone into Law, What Do You Think You Would Have Ended Up Doing Instead?

I would have been a primary school teacher.

How Do You Like to Switch Off and Recharge Outside of Work?

I like to spend time with my children. I also enjoy running and making cakes.

What Is Something About You That Colleagues Might Be Surprised to Learn?

I lived in Hong Kong for many years and did all my secondary schooling there.
