John Padget

John joined Meridian in 2023 having qualified in 2014. He is a Senior Associate in the Estate Planning team.

He has ten years’ experience in Wills, estate administration, trust creation and administration, and estate planning in all its forms. With regards to the administration of estates he has practiced in this field since qualification and specialises in high value, complex probate matters often involving aspects of business and agricultural property relief.

John studied politics at Warwick University and converted to law in his late twenties after a first career in project management. He is a full member of the Society of Trusts and Estates Practitioners (STEP) and has recently joined the Birmingham STEP committee.

Outside of work, his time is mainly taken up with his three young children. In rare moments of free time, his hobbies are long-distance running, cycling, motorsport in all its forms and vainly hoping Arsenal will regain former glories.
