I joined Goughs in January 2021 as a legal assistant and following completion of my training contract I qualified as a solicitor in the family department in September 2024. I have experience in a variety of aspects of family law including divorce, finances and issues surrounding children.
I really enjoy meeting clients and working with them through a difficult point in their lives. I also love the variety that family law has to offer; no two clients are the same. I also find my role fulfilling especially when I see a positive outcome at the end of each case.
In my personal life, I am usually training for some type of fitness event. I have taken part in a number of events across the UK and Europe and my next goal is to complete a half Ironman!
I’m proud to be part of Goughs’ Family team, working alongside experienced colleagues to help clients achieve the best possible outcomes
