Get to know me

I joined Goughs as a trainee solicitor and since qualifying I have worked my way up to become a partner. Goughs successful Corporate and Commercial team has grown and developed under my guidance. I specialise in commercial property and corporate matters acting for a range of private individuals, companies, partnerships, and financial institutions.

My greatest achievement

I am a proud mother to my little girl Charlotte.

Buying my first house and completing the renovations was a massive personal achievement. Buying my second house and undertaking a further renovation project – I think I’m bonkers!

As for professional achievement, building up a fantastic client base for the Firm and having established client relationships gives me a huge sense of achievement and I’m extremely proud … all the hard graft really does pay off! This has been solidified by the fact I have been recognised by the Legal 500 directory. I was noted in the Legal500 2026 directory for my ‘work in the hospitality and leisure sectors.’

What I like about working for Goughs
