I am the head of the corporate commercial department at Tees Law, overseeing a wide range of commercial sectors.
I qualified as a solicitor in 1994 and started my legal career in London, joining Wortley Byers in 1997. I became a partner in Wortley Byers’ corporate commercial department in 1999 and led the team from 2009 to 2012. In January 2014, I was appointed Managing Partner of Wortley Byers, leading the firm’s merger into Tees Law.
I specialise in a range of corporate and commercial matters across a number of industry sectors, including:
Clients often commend me for providing pragmatic advice that enables them to achieve their desired outcomes seamlessly. Over my years of legal practice, I have acquired extensive knowledge in my chosen fields. My primary objective is to ensure that each client’s goals are met, and I take great pleasure and pride in delivering a high-quality service.

“Lucy Folley and Baljeet Kaur are both very good and will also work very effectively together, covering for each other when needed. I very much appreciate their commercial attitude to issues that have arisen in transactions.” Legal 500 UK, 2025
