Having qualified in 1997, Alison moved to Worthing in 1998 where she joined a local high street firm, becoming a partner in 2006 and subsequently head of the probate department. In 2010 after the sudden death of her father and having assisted her mother to manage the paperwork at home alone she set up her own niche business, helping other people in a similar fashion, and offering a hand-holding service for personal probate applications amongst other things. As Alison's youngest child started University in Sept 2024, the time was right to step back into the law, and she joined Cognitive in December 2024.
Alison's clients are very much at the centre of what she does; Alison prides herself on making time to explore with them the matters that are important to them, offering expert and practical advice and guidance on the decisions that they have to make whilst ensuring that the work she does for them is completed to a high standard and in a timely fashion.
Away from the office Alison walks with Highdown Hillwalking and Mountaineering Club, cycles with Angmering Cycle Club and sings with Worthing Choral Society. In what spare time she has left she enjoys dog walking, gardening, cooking and spending time with her family!

Testimonials
"Friends of ours had used Alison Edwards and were very complementary, so we asked her to help us with our wills. From the start we were impressed with not just her knowledge but with her guidance as to what was the best for us.
Three years later when we moved house we took the opportunity to revisit our wills and again Alison was immensely helpful, again providing pertinent guidance to ensure our wills would do exactly what we wished for.
We are delighted with the support and guidance Alison provided, she is a very helpful, professional and personable person"

concerning the matter of a will. We were very pleased that she was able to advise
us in a friendly, understandable and professional way."

"We needed to update our wills, so Alison came to visit us at home. Not only did she guide and advise us on what to include, but also discussed other highly-relevant considerations such as Inheritance Tax planning and future care provision. This proved to be not only helpful, but actually quite valuable and timely: an excellent service."
