I qualified as a family solicitor in 2014 after completing my training contract with Chubb Bulleid. Except for my time at Cardiff University, Somerset has always been home, and I was therefore keen to establish my career in the Southwest, where I could combine my ambitions with my longstanding connection to the region.
I was drawn to family law because I enjoy working with people and feel strongly about supporting individuals as they navigate challenging and often emotional periods in their lives.
I advise and represent clients in relation to divorce and separation, helping them to achieve fair and pragmatic financial settlements. I also advise on arrangements for children, supporting clients in reaching constructive outcomes that are focused on their children’s best interests.
In addition, I advise individuals who are considering entering into pre-nuptial or post nuptial agreements, providing clear and practical advice to help them to protect their interests and plan for the future.
What made you want to become a solicitor?
I have always enjoyed working with people and had a strong affinity for the written word, making a career as a solicitor a natural fit. My interest was further strengthened when I undertook work experience at Chubb Bulleid while I was still at secondary school. It was the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with clients and support them through challenging circumstances that ultimately drew me to family law.
What do you do when you’re not in the office?
I am an early riser and enjoy making the most of the quiet hours before my three children start their day, whether strength training at the gym, yoga or going for a run. I have been an avid reader from a young age, spending many happy childhood hours immersed in the books of Enid Blyton. I am now a member of a local book club and look forward to each new selection.
Following a recent house move, I have discovered a new passion for gardening. My family and I recently enjoyed our first crop of home-grown blueberries, which has encouraged me to develop my gardening skills further. One day, when my children are older, I would love to have an allotment of my own.
