Get to know me

I have been practicing civil litigation since September 2017, specialising in contentious private client work since October 2019. My passion for the latter area of law stemmed from my training period at Goughs, when I realised that I had a natural empathy with clients and their difficult and challenging situations, and could use the law to help them to achieve the positive outcomes that they deserved.

Having joined Goughs as a Trainee Litigator, I was able to progress to Contentious Private Client Paralegal and then Associate in April 2023.

Being a military spouse, and a member of Goughs’ Armed Forces Sector, I have a great insight into the particular additional struggles that service personnel and their families might face.

I use my knowledge of the forces community in combination with the law to ensure that my armed forces clients’ particular needs are met.

What Our Clients Say

I had reason to use Goughs Solicitors and it was Elizabeth Stiddard who helped me enormously. Her sheer professionalism and empathy for this case was outstanding and saved me from numerous sleepless nights as she was able to put my mind at rest over points that caused me worry. All in all Goughs provided an excellent service and Elizabeth and all her team involved should be extremely proud of themselves.
Elizabeth assisted my brother and myself with a matter that had arisen in respect of our late mother’s Will. Despite the obvious emotion that my brother and myself felt about this matter, Elizabeth dealt with it calmly and efficiently and in a very progressive way, explaining all of the elements of the related law in a very concise manner and in a way that two non-legally trained people could easily understand. We felt in good hands all the way as the matter was resolved quickly and without further need for our direct involvement. Thank you Elizabeth.
I have never been as pleased with any services as I am with the one I received from Elizabeth Stiddard. She kindly explained everything I needed to know to help with a satisfactory outcome. Elizabeth even explained the legalese in plain English so that it made sense to me. She was very clear and precise with everything that she did and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone else who needs a friendly, helpful person to guide you through the process.
I wanted to personally thank you and all of your team at Goughs for your assistance in this very complicated process. I couldn't have done it without you all. Thank you again and best wishes for the future.
The service I have had from you has been exceptional and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The past few years have been the most worrying and stressful of my life, and I wouldn't be where I am now without your patience, understanding and down to earth advice. Knowing I could rely on you throughout this process has made things easier to bear. M White - November 2022
