I am a Professional Support Lawyer in the Wills, Trusts, Tax and Probate team. I provide specialist technical support and guidance to the department on relevant client matters, assist in developing and managing precedents and deliver training.
I qualified as a private client solicitor in 2014 and worked in private practice before joining Tees in February 2024. My specialism includes Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, the creation and administration of Trusts, estate planning and estate administration. I have experience advising high-net-worth individuals and business owners.

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.

I became a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) in 2018 and I am a member of the Law Society Private Client Section. I am also a part-time lecturer at Leeds Beckett University.
