How can I help you?

I am a Trainee Solicitor currently based in the Clinical Negligence Team at our Walker House Office.

I manage a small caseload while supporting Joanne Maher, Senior Associate and Solicitor and I deal with several sensitive cases. This ranges from client’s suffering terminal diagnosis to working for families who have lost a loved one because of negligent treatment.

A little about me

I find that being personable really helps build trust with our clients and ease some of the stress they’re going through. I genuinely enjoy supporting them throughout the process, and it’s incredibly rewarding when they get the outcome they deserve.

My experience

I joined Jackson Lees Group in July 2019 as a Clinical Negligence Paralegal and I started my Training Contract in October 2024.

I studied History at Chester University graduating in 2016, however, I developed an interest in a law career when serving jury duty.

I completed the Graduate Diploma in Law in 2017 and graduated from the University of Law with a Distinction in my Legal Practice Course and Masters in Law, in 2019.
