Trainee Solicitor
Dispute Resolution
- Bishop's Stortford
Biography
I am a Trainee Solicitor in the Dispute Resolution team, based in Bishop’s Stortford. I joined Tees in March 2025 and have completed training seats in the Real Estate, Private Client, and Risk and Compliance teams.
I have enjoyed the challenge and variety that each of my seats has offered. I take a sincere and client-focused approach, seeking to understand the desired outcome for each individual client and how it aligns with their broader personal and business objectives. I have also valued the opportunity to gain insight into wills, trusts, tax, and probate matters, as well as risk and compliance. I look forward to further developing my knowledge and experience within the Dispute Resolution team.
I am always looking for ways to improve my work and stay up to date with developments in legal technology that can help streamline legal processes.

Further information
Before joining Tees, I worked as a Paralegal in Commercial Property and Construction Litigation at a Cambridge law firm. In 2015, I graduated with a Business and Retail Management Degree from The University of Surrey, Guildford. After a few years of Company Governance and Consultancy roles I found a passion in law and in 2024 graduated with a master’s in law (LLM) with Distinction from the University of Law.
I spent a number of years during my degree acting as a Mental Health advisor and in 2021 sat on the Surrey Junior Lawyers Division as a Wellbeing Officer, helping aspiring Lawyers through the difficulties navigating the pandemic. I find that whatever the issue, empathy and compassion always come first.
I have a variety of hobbies and interests outside of work. I am currently learning Full Stack web development to build a better understanding of the programming we use every day. I practice martial arts at an Aikido club in Cambridge. I also have an interest in circus skills and have performed fire spinning at local venues and festivals. I am sure to pick up more as I love to learn new things.
