Biography
I am a paralegal in the Court of Protection team, and I am based in the Leeds office. I have a wealth of experience assisting higher grade fee earners with the seamless management of high value deputyships and trusts. 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. I have completed both parts of the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (integrating a Masters of Law), and I am well on my way to qualifying as a solicitor.
What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?
Working in a big team to bounce and 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 (even in a small way), when in many cases, their life has been challenging.
What inspired you to get into law?
I have always enjoyed helping others and working in a personal area of law certainly achieves that. I enjoyed studying law at undergraduate 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.
