Niamh Mackenzie-Johnson

Solicitor

Biography

I am a solicitor on the private client team at Tees. I can assist with a range of issues, including:

    • Wills
    • Creation and Administration of Trusts
    • Financial and Succession Planning
    • Lasting Powers of Attorney
    • Probate / Estate Administration
    • Registration of Enduring Powers of Attorney
    • Court of Protection Applications

Delivering what you really need

As a private client lawyer, I aim to help my clients achieve the best outcomes by providing tailored legal advice and solutions that address their unique personal, familial, and financial needs.  By building relationships and understanding each client’s individual goals, I discuss strategies that safeguard their assets, navigate legal complexities, and achieve their estate planning objectives. My proactive, responsive, and client-centered approach aims to deliver peace of mind and optimal results.

In practice, this means that I will regularly update you on progress on your matter and explain legal complexities in an accessible way. Clients often deal with the private client team during difficult periods of their lives, and so I will try to alleviate as much of that worry as possible.

If further work arises that falls outside of my specialty, you can be assured that Tees is a multidisciplinary firm with numerous talented legal advisors to whom I can refer your enquiry.

Expertise

I've never found an area where Tees have been unable to help. There is considerable strength across the organisation. Individuals have good contacts outside of their practice area. I have always found Tees accessible and helpful.

Further information

I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2015 with a Bachelor of Law. I then took a brief career break to study Culinary Arts at the University of West London before resuming my legal career in private client in 2018. I completed the Legal Practice Course (LPC) with De Montfort University in 2021.

In addition to my formal legal training, I am an Affiliate of the Society for Trust and Estate Planners (STEP), and I am studying for my full accreditation. I have passed two advanced STEP courses with distinction, namely, ‘Trust Disputes’ and ‘The Administration of Estates in England and Wales.’ STEP is a global professional body that helps families plan for their futures, and STEP members are internationally recognised as experts in their fields.

In my spare time I still enjoy experimenting with cooking, painting, learning French, and careering through the Cambridgeshire countryside after my two unruly rescue dogs; Duke (who is an English Foxhound), and Milo (who is a Springer Spaniel x Labrador).
