Arianna Bland

My role is to help with the admin involved in wills, LPAs, trusts and probate.

When an opportunity arose in the Wills Trusts and Probate team, I immediately realised it would give me a chance to offer help to individuals in the community - something that meant a lot to me but which I had been unable to do in my previous employment. I enjoy getting to interact with real people and working closely with my team.

I was drawn to Birkett Long after hearing about their focus on people and community. All the staff are so friendly and it’s obvious that they enjoy working at the firm.

In my leisure time, I have held and participated in charity events including variety shows, coffee mornings, exercise classes and a dance marathon on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Research and Cancer Research UK, both charities that I hold very close to my heart.

I also enjoy cooking, especially baking and challenging myself with new recipes. And when I can, I love singing and watching local theatre.
