Practice Areas

I joined the firm in November 2021 as an Associate Solicitor having worked in other highly regarded firms in Newcastle upon Tyne for almost a decade.

My role involves advising clients on wealth protection/ estate/ succession planning (including advising business owners and high-net-worth individuals). I also advise on management/ protection of funds in cases involving congenital defects at birth.

I also deal with estate administration of complex estates (including estates with cross-border elements, foreign assets and missing beneficiaries to high value estates). I help clients create lifetime settlements as well as dealing with Trust administration and advising Trustees and Executors. I also specialise in advising on capacity issues, including Powers of Attorney and making applications to the Court of Protection. I'm a full member of STEP. I'm also a member of the STEP Special Interest Group for Business Families. I am also a committee member of the Law Society’s private client solicitors section advisory committee. Our role on the committee is to assist the Law Society to design and deliver the outputs of the private client solicitors’ section.

I work closely with local charities and I often volunteer. I'm a founding member of Cancer Research UK’s Business Beats Cancer Board in Newcastle upon Tyne and I help to raise money and awareness for the charity locally.
