Senior Associate

Get to know me

I have been practicing in Private Client law since 2018. I was introduced to this area of law during my training contract and I soon realised that this was the area of law that I had a real passion for. I qualified as a solicitor in January 2020, promoted to Associate Solicitor in October 2022 and more recently promoted to Senior Associate in October 2025.

I love the personal interaction with clients and being able to help them with difficult personal and emotional circumstances. I especially enjoy building long lasting relationships with my clients and their families and supporting them for many years.

I deal with all areas of Private Client work, but I have a particular interest in complex Estate administration and Trust administration.
