I am a solicitor in the Cambridge Private Client team, having qualified in April 2023 and joined Tees in February 2024. I specialise in Wills, estate administration, powers of attorney and related matters.
I am dedicated to delivering the best possible service to clients by providing tailored advice that meets their unique needs. Our team benefits from the expertise of other departments within the firm, allowing us to offer a comprehensive solution to clients.
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.
I obtained a Bachelor of Laws from Coventry University, graduating in 2019, and completed the Legal Practice Course with a Master of Laws at BBP Cambridge in 2022.
