I have been involved with Private Client law for 17 years and fully qualified for almost 11 years. I had studied law at college and at the age of 30 an opportunity arose to study and train to become a lawyer which I achieved. I have always had a strong empathy for the elderly and vulnerable and pride myself in being able to engage with them and support them through what can be very difficult times.
I joined Goughs in January 2020 and despite all the challenges that 2020 has brought I am really pleased I made the move and look forward to helping many more people in the coming years.

During my career in law I have worked for both small and large firms. Goughs has offered me a really diverse choice of work and the ability to practice my passion and specialism that is working with the elderly. The whole team is really friendly and so supportive and that has only been highlighted even more during this pandemic.
