Paralegal

Dispute Resolution

Biography

I joined Tees in 2023 as a paralegal in the litigation and dispute resolution team and qualified as a solicitor in 2026.

I completed my BA in English from the University of Southampton in 2016 and have since completed both an LLM and a Post Graduate Diploma in Law with BPP University. More recently I have undertaken the Solicitor Qualifying Exams, passing both stages on the first attempt. Since joining Tees, I have developed a varied caseload of debt recovery and breach of contract matters alongside. I also assist senior Legal Advisors with a variety of complex commercial disputes and contentious insolvency matters.

I am friendly and approachable, and I genuinely care about my clients. I aim to provide clear advice and to help you understand the legal process and the outcome that you might expect.
