I am a Solicitor in the Cambridge Private Client team, having qualified in April 2025 via the Solicitor Qualification Examination (SQE) route. I joined the firm in May 2025 from an international City of London law firm. I have over three years’ experience in private client work and a strong grounding in the area.
My practice includes Wills, estate administration, Lasting Powers of Attorney, inheritance tax planning, and trust administration. I also have a keen interest in agricultural succession and planning.
I’m friendly, approachable, and dedicated to delivering the best outcomes for clients, taking care to understand their individual circumstances and priorities. I’m committed to providing clear, practical advice and supporting clients through often personal and complex matters. I value building lasting relationships with individuals and families to help them plan confidently for the future.
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.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in the countryside with my family and exploring new places to enjoy great coffee and local food.
