Private Client – Southport
Qualifications and professional achievements: LLB (Hons), Legal Practice Course. I qualified as a solicitor in 2007 , was promoted to Associate in 2011 and then Partner in 2017. I am a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners and the Law Society’s Private Client section.
Specialist area of law: I specialise in Wills, Probate and Administration of Estates, Estate Planning, Trust Administration, tax planning, Court of Protection, Lasting Power of Attorney and Court of Protection work.
How did you end up working for a law firm? I undertook work experience in a law firm whilst at school and then after completing the LPC I started working as a paralegal for a local law firm who then took me on as a trainee solicitor. Whilst working for one of the partners who specialised in a number of areas I realised that I had a particular interest in private client work. I came to Birchall Blackburn Law as a newly qualified solicitor in the Private Client department over 10 years ago and haven’t looked back since.
Unusual fact: In my younger days I was a keen “disco dancer” and competed in a number of dancing competitions all over the country.
