Hyphen Law, the specialist property and affairs deputyships services firm, has appointed Robert Hurling as a Court of Protection solicitor based at its offices in London. Admitted as a solicitor in 2007, he has extensive experience as a Court of Protection practitioner providing deputyship services and advising on Personal Injury Trusts.
