Tailer Jai Punton

I am a Solicitor in the Court of Protection team and based in Leeds.

I have a wealth of experience assisting higher grade fee earners with the seamless management of high value deputyships and trusts both litigated and post-settlement.

I enjoy helping others and I always seek to ensure our clients wishes and feelings are heard. My biggest goal is to make sure our clients live fulfilling lives.

I also have extensive experience in health and welfare litigation proceedings concerning s16 and s21A of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and wills and probate matters. 

What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?

Working in a big and supportive team to share ideas with which ultimately benefits the clients we help.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?

Helping people live a fulfilling life and helping to make their life better when in many cases, their life has been challenging. 

What inspired you to get into law?

The idea of being able to help others and navigating challenging and complex tasks. I have always enjoyed helping others which working in a personal area of law certainly achieves that. I enjoyed studying law at undergraduate and postgraduate level, particularly studying areas of law concerning real people.

What do you do away from the office?

I like spending my time in the gym and going on a hike. I also like to see my friends and family regularly, including my niece and three nephews. As a child, I used to own my own horses, and I hope to pick this back up in the near future.
