I am a paralegal within the Bishop’s Stortford Private Client team. I provide support and assistance in various matters including Wills, Probate, Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) and the creation and administration of trusts.
We understand that most clients who reach out to us are facing a difficult time in their lives. We are committed to handling their matters with compassion and professionalism.
We recognise that every client and every legal issue is unique. We take the time to understand each client’s individual circumstances and provide tailored advice to help them achieve their desired outcome.
Our Will preparation has been undertaken by Frances Gill and her paralegal, Omor Abedin. It was made clear that the drafts would be available within a reasonable time frame, and this was the case. Frances also followed up with us when we had failed to respond to a recommendation.
I graduated from City, St George’s University of London with a Bachelor of Laws in 2022. Subsequently, I completed the Legal Practice Course with a Master of Laws again with City, St George’s University of London in 2023.
I have prior experience working in residential and commercial property, mainly specialising in remortgages.
I aim to continue my legal career by qualifying as a solicitor.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing golf and going to the gym. I am an Arsenal FC supporter and try to go to as many games as possible.
