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.
