Biography
I am a Senior Associate in the Gatwick Tax Trusts and Estates team.
I deal with all aspects of private client work, and advise on wills, trusts, succession planning and lifetime tax planning.
I specialise in complex estate administration and tax planning work, often including cross-border assets, rural estates and private business interests. My practice also includes later life planning, including power of attorney and Court of Protection work.
I am a full member of the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP) and I am an Associate member of the Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE).
I am also a notary public. This involves assisting private individuals and corporate clients with authenticating documents for use in other jurisdictions and often complements my international probate work.
What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
I read Law with French at the University of Birmingham. I was attracted to the dynamic nature of the law, the intellectual challenge and being able to help individual clients.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
Having the privilege to work with wonderful clients, and giving them peace of mind at what can sometimes be challenging times.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
My young family keep me busy at home. Other than that, I also enjoy hot yoga, skiing, crochet and gardening.
