Welcome to Davidson Mahon Solicitors

Davidson Mahon Solicitors was set up by Kate Mahon. Kate was originally called to the Bar in 2006 and cross-qualified as a solicitor in 2009. Kate specialises in all aspects of private client work which includes preparing Wills, drawing up Trusts, administering estates, obtaining Grants of Probate, preparing Powers of Attorney, making applications to the Court of Protection and advising farmers and business owners on Inheritance Tax and succession planning. Kate is an Affiliate member of STEP and a member of the Law Society Private Client Section Advisory Committee.

Kate works with Accountants and Financial Advisers to ensure clients obtain practical advice so they can plan their future with confidence.

For Kate, exceptional client service is everything. Kate believes that it is extremely important in this area of law to understand your client’s needs and background in order to provide appropriate and practical advice and this means spending time with clients to ensure she has a clear understanding of their situation.

Kate wanted to create a firm that enabled her to offer her clients something more than most other firms; more time, flexibility for clients to see her at times to suit them, quality work and affordable fees.

Caroline joined her good friend Kate at Davidson Mahon as a consultant solicitor in December 2016. Previously she has been a partner in ‘big’ law firms but now wants to concentrate on providing a more bespoke and flexible service to her clients in a friendly, approachable, and affordable manner.  Home visits, out of hours’ appointments and availability means Caroline can deliver quality advice to fit in with clients’ lives and for prices which offer excellent value for money.  Caroline can see clients in their own homes, at the Davidson Mahon offices in Rugby or at Caroline’s home based office in Meriden.

Specialising in ‘Private Client Law’, Caroline advises individuals, families, businesses, farmers, and vulnerable adults on all aspects of their estate planning, asset preservation and succession.  She deals with Wills, Powers of Attorney, Trusts (including co-ownership of property), Administration of Vulnerable Adult’s Affairs, Administration of Deceased’s Estates, Inheritance Tax Planning, Gifting, Asset Protection, and Court of Protection Applications / Procedures.

Davidson Mahon are delighted to welcome Alison Rolf to the team, expanding the firm’s specialisms to family law advice as well as bespoke estate planning.

Alison has known Kate and Caroline for many years and joined the firm as a Consultant in May 2018 having previously worked for a high street firm locally.  Alison has worked in Birmingham, Coventry and Stratford upon Avon in a career spanning over 25 years! Since 1997, Alison has specialised in family law and is well aware of how stressful matrimonial matters can be for the clients involved in them.  Her experience of these matters mean that she is able to empathise whilst still advising clients with practical ways to move forward.  Always putting the children first and trying to resolve matters with as little acrimony as possible is always the best way to proceed as far as she is concerned.

Hello, my name is Pasha and I am the office dog. I look after everyone and keep them company when they are in the office. I am very lucky as I get lots of attention and I’m taken for nice walks at lunchtime too. I like nothing more than chasing a ball or fetching a stick but my absolute favourite thing is swimming! When I am not in the office, I live with Kate and her husband and their menagerie of other animals.
