Alice Blackmore

Senior Associate

Get to know me...

I qualified as a Solicitor in October 2016 and previously worked at a firm in Plymouth before moving to Bath. I joined Goughs in January 2020 and was promoted to Associate in April 2021 then Senior Associate in April 2023. I am a member of the Family Law Panel and I am experienced in dealing with all areas of family law including disputes involving children, divorce, separation, finances, and cohabitation.

I have frequently assisted clients with Non-Molestation Orders and Occupation Orders. I regularly attend court in relation to disputes involving children and domestic abuse issues to represent clients. These are areas that I have a particular interest in. There has been a rise in cases involving coercive and controlling behaviour and I always ensure I handle these types of cases sensitively and with care.

I take time to get to know my clients so that I am able to understand their objectives, provide tailored advice and protect family wealth and relationships wherever possible. My approach is constructive and collaborative and wherever possible, I always try to resolve issues without litigation.

"Alice was outstanding and has been so kind and compassionate with everything that has come along in the last year and also in having to deal with the other party who was very difficult."

"Thank you Alice Blackmore for your fantastic professional support, with care, compassion, and kindness, of our need for explanation and understanding of the system and language in a lot of correspondence.
Thank you too for being always being honest and empathic of our feelings, when we needed to understand such a minefield of law, and on occasions when we needed to express how we felt, during some very difficult moments.
It will be our pleasure to recommend you and your services through Gough’s Solicitor."

"Kind and friendly and so professional. Dealt with matters quickly. Couldn’t have asked for a better service"

"Can I take this opportunity to thank you for everything that you have done for me over these last few months, you always made me feel reassured whenever I spoke to you about different matters and you helped me achieve what was owed to me, so thank you so much."

My greatest achievement

I was promoted to Associate within a year of joining Goughs, of which I am very proud. One of my greatest professional achievements is being ranked as a key lawyer in the 2024 Legal 500 Directory and receiving this quote: “Alice Blackmore is going to go far in her legal career. She is meticulous in her preparation and she provides sound advice to her clients.”

From a personal perspective, I have also completed a Counselling Course alongside my career as a lawyer at Goughs and obtained a distinction. I believe that this added level of knowledge and training enables me to provide a holistic and compassionate service to my clients at all stages of a relationship breakdown.

What I like about working for Goughs

Goughs provides me with an interesting case load and a great variety of work whilst also maintaining a healthy balance between work and home life. I have felt extremely supported and valued since joining Goughs and feel a great sense of community spirit. I have also been encouraged to develop and progress in my career alongside raising a young family. I particularly enjoy supervising young lawyers starting out in the profession, and Goughs have provided me with an opportunity to do this. Being based in Wiltshire provides me with the opportunity to explore the beautiful countryside with my young family and dog after work enabling me to feel refreshed for the next day ahead.
