Biography

I worked as a paralegal for seven years prior to qualifying as a solicitor in 2017. I joined Tees in October 2019 and I am an associate solicitor in the dispute resolution team.

I strive to provide my clients with cost effective and commercial advice. I help clients to consider their options and any associated risks, in order to achieve the desired outcome, whilst minimising the stress and time investment of litigation.

I advise on contentious matters for both corporate and private clients, including:

  • contractual disputes
  • debt recovery
  • civil fraud
  • intellectual property disputes
  • reputational disputes including defamation
  • misrepresentation
  • partnership and company disputes
  • insolvency
  • enforcement
  • alternative dispute resolution

Very in-depth knowledge and much depth to the team. The advice is always on point with due consideration given to cost:benefit analysis.

Further information

I obtained a 2:1 LLB Honours degree in Law from Anglia Ruskin University in 2013 and studied the Legal Practice Course at the University of Law part-time whilst working as a paralegal.

I am praised by the 2022 edition of the Legal 500 for ‘working on complicated cases which would normally be dealt with by more senior individuals.

In my spare time I enjoy exploring the Essex countryside with my dogs and enjoy travelling abroad when possible.
