Welcoming her to the firm, Liam Goggin, Head of Public Law at Simpson Millar, said "our Court of Protection team is known for its leading expertise and dedication to clients, many of whom are extremely vulnerable. We are committed to providing empathetic, transparent, and forward-thinking legal solutions, and Robyn’s appointment will further strengthen our offering.
