Edward Friend
Solicitor and Director
Notary Public (separate to Carreg Law, but based at Carreg Law’s offices)
Edward grew up in Carmarthenshire and studied law at Aberystwyth University and Legal Practice Course in London. He then worked in London, but decided that city life was no match for Wales.
Edward established Carreg Law in 2014 and hasn’t looked back since! Edward is one of only 750 notary publics practising in England and Wales providing an approachable and personal service. He is also Registrar to the Archdeacon of Carmarthen and a member of the Wales Committee of the Law Society.
Edward loves to experience the world through travel and the lens of a camera. He is a fluent Welsh speaker and lives in the Tywi Valley with his wife and young family.
Carys Dyer
Solicitor and Director
Carys is thoroughly Welsh and proud of it! She grew up in the Llangadog area, studied in Aberystwyth and Cardiff, has worked across south and west Wales, and is a fluent Welsh speaker.
Carys loves her job and is dedicated to it, which certainly helps when there’s a short deadline to work to!
Outside of work, life for Carys revolves around raising a lovely young family, visiting friends, taking brisk walks and singing with Côr Seingar - a Carmarthen-based choir.
Freddie Govier Wright
Solicitor
Freddie was born and grew up in South Wales and left to study law at King’s College, London. She has many years' legal experience ranging from a London law firm to running her own practice in Monmouth and, most recently, as Legal Director in the Wye Valley branch of a top 70 UK law firm.
However, her heart has always remained in Wales – and, as a Welsh speaker, is delighted to move back to live and work in Llandeilo.
Outside work Freddie’s main focus remains her family but she also loves to garden, visit museums and art galleries and especially walk in the unrivalled local countryside.
Rachel Morris
Solicitor
Rachel lives the countryside dream on her Gower farm overlooking the sea, where she keeps sheep, horses, chickens and ducks. The many eggs laid by her chickens come in handy for all the cakes which Rachel loves to bake!
Born in Wales, Rachel studied Law at Aberystwyth University and took her Legal Practice Course at Swansea University. She has worked in Carmarthenshire ever since and joined Carreg Law in 2018
Wendy Macarthur

An Associate member of Solicitors for the Elderly and previously a Trustee for Age UK Thanet, Wendy is keen to offer care and support to all her clients, at what is often a very challenging time.
Outside of work, Wendy is looking to embrace all that Wales offers and has recently purchased a mountain bike and is optimistically signing up to the local running club!
Anna Morrison
CILEX Paralegal
A force of energy and cheerfulness, Anna has worked in law all her life and specialises in property. A qualified CILEX Paralegal, Anna is studying the new CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ) with the aim of becoming a CILEX Lawyer.
