I joined Tees in June 2025 as a Paralegal for the Litigation Department, based in the Chelmsford office.
Previously, I graduated from the University of Essex in 2022 with a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) Class I.
I also worked at Coram Children’s Legal Centre as a Legal Advisor in family and education law for one year and as an Education Paralegal for two years.

This team has continued to go from strength to strength in the past year. Their unparalleled legal knowledge is paired with empathy to the client's situation which is essential in this area of law.
