Biography
I am a Trainee Solicitor in the Family Law department at Tees in Bishop’s Stortford, and I joined in September 2026. I graduated with a degree in Law with American Law from the University of Nottingham in 2025 and completed my Legal Practice Course with my LLM at the University of Law in 2026. As a Trainee Solicitor in the Family Law Team, I work alongside specialist legal advisers on a range of family law matters, including divorce, private children law, and financial arrangements.
Delivering what you need
I understand that family law can be challenging and often emotional, so I aim to provide practical, reliable support throughout the process. I work closely with the wider family team to ensure clients receive a professional, approachable service tailored to their needs.
