I am the National Head of Residential Property at Irwin Mitchell and a highly experienced Partner and Chartered Legal Executive. I lead the firm’s national residential property team, overseeing the delivery of legal services across a broad range of residential conveyancing matters, while driving strategic growth, service excellence and client experience across the practice.

With extensive expertise in residential conveyancing, I advise clients in respect of transactional property matters. Under my leadership, the team provides a proactive, client-focused service designed to deliver efficient transactions and exceptional outcomes for individuals and families navigating the property market.

I qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2007 and have built a reputation for combining technical expertise with outstanding client care. I am recognised for my collaborative approach, commitment to high standards and ability to support clients through what are often some of life’s most significant transactions.

As National Head of Residential Property, I work closely with colleagues across Irwin Mitchell’s national network to further strengthen the firm’s market-leading residential property offering and ensure clients receive seamless, expert support wherever they are based.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?

I like the fast pace of conveyancing and working closely with my clients to get to exchange and completion. The variety of transactions the team deal with mean no day is ever the same.

What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?

I enjoy working at Irwin Mitchell and have been with the firm for many years. Having experts in all areas is a perk as there is always someone who can advise clients on all aspects of the law.
