How can I help you?  

I am a Solicitor in the Wills Trusts & Probate team. I can assist you in preparing a Will to ensure that all of your assets are dealt with in the way in which you intend. I can also assist in preparing Powers of Attorney to ensure that your assets and health are looked after in the event you were no longer able to protect these yourself. Probate matters are also something that I specialise in, where I can assist in administering a loved one's estate once they have passed.  

A little about me 

My role at the firm is very varied, and no two days are the same. In our line of work, our clients are usually at a particularly tough time in their lives, having just lost a loved one or trying to think about how they wish for their assets to be divided upon their death, which can be a very difficult thing to think about.  I thrive in being able to make a positive difference to our clients on a day-to-day basis and make the process as stress free as possible.  

My experience 

I graduated from Liverpool John Moores University obtaining a 2.1 LLB Hons in 2020 and graduated a Master of Laws with Legal Practice in 2023. I qualified as a solicitor in March 2024.  

Throughout my training contract within the firm, I completed seats with the Family team and Civil & Commercial Litigation team where I gained invaluable experience and further developed my skills on route to qualification.  

Previous to my role at Jackson Lees, I was a legal assistant working in Litigation which is where I started my legal career.
