Leading Sheffield solicitors, Taylor&Emmet LLP, is teaming up with one of the city's largest employers to offer its staff essential advice about wills and probate matters.

Taylor&Emmet's probate specialist, Hannah McDermott, will be taking part in Outokumpu's health and safety week, to highlight the importance of making a will.

Hannah will be visiting Outokumpu Stainless Distribution in Sheffield on Wednesday and the firm's Aldridge branch in the West Midlands on Thursday (April 22 and 23). She will deliver a series of talks to its employees about making provision for family and dependants in the event of death or the loss of mental powers.

As part of her contribution to the health and safety week, Hannah will also be holding one-to-one sessions for Outokumpu employees who want to ask more specific questions about their personal circumstances and take the first steps towards making or updating their will.

Hannah said: "Everyone should make a will, not only to provide for their family's future, but also to give peace of mind should they have a serious accident. Outokumpu's health and safety week is a unique opportunity to reach a large audience and demonstrate that probate is not as daunting or as complicated as many people think."

Outokumpu's health and safety week is an annual event, focusing this year on health and wellbeing. Taylor&Emmet is among a number of contributors, including the fire and police forces, mental health charity, Mind and the British Heart Foundation.

Louise Fairweather, Outokumpu's UK marketing and communications manager, added: "We are very grateful to Taylor&Emmet for taking the time to meet our employees in Sheffield and Aldridge. I have no doubt that the essential legal advice Hannah will be sharing with us will be well received and we hope our staff use it to secure their future and that of their dependants."
