Trish Watkins

Senior Associate (FCILEx)

Get to know me

I have been involved with Private client law for over 20 years. I had studied law at college and at the age of 30 an opportunity arose to study further and qualify as a lawyer which I did in 2010.

I have always had a strong empathy for the elderly and vulnerable and pride myself in being able to engage with them and support them through what can be very difficult times.

I joined Goughs in 2020 and really enjoy working with my colleagues and offering support to the local community.

What Our Clients Say

Trish allowed me to sit in with my brother for part of the meeting for moral support for. She coped when he became distressed discussing his will. Trish spoke to Brian at a level he could understand and make his own wishes known. Trish was very professional in enabling Brian to be confident in returning to sign his Will.

What I like about working for Goughs

During my career in law I have worked for both small and large firms. Goughs has offered me a really diverse choice of work and the ability to practice my passion and specialism that is working with the elderly. The whole team is really friendly and so supporting and are all committed to offering a first-class service.
