Biography
I am a French-speaking paralegal working within Bishop’s Stortford’s private client department. I aid and support in various matters including Wills, Probate, Lasting Powers of Attorney, as well as matters of French law.
Delivering what you really need
Working in the private client department was the best choice for me. I enjoy interacting with people and being able to use my expertise to help people is very rewarding.
I am committed to handling matters with the upmost respect, dedication, compassion and professionalism.
My diverse background has given me an acute ability to listen and understand people, to help them resolve their issues in the best way possible.
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.
