Biography
I head up the Lifetime Estate Planning team on the south coast, across our Southampton and Chichester offices. I assist my clients with estate and tax planning, advising on wills, lifetime giving, and on the preparation of Lasting Powers of Attorney (for personal and business use).
I also have expertise is setting up and advising upon trusts and Family Investment Companies. I particularly enjoy finding creative solutions for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors, property owners, and those who have inherited wealth.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
I love that my job is demanding technically, but that I have to get to know my clients’ personal circumstances and their aims to advise them fully. Making the technical elements accessible for clients is very rewarding.
What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?
The private client expertise in my team is unrivalled and it's really exciting to work alongside, and be supported by, such excellent lawyers.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
When at home I enjoy being with my family, but also find time to read, sing, and practice yoga.
