My diversity networks

State School Educated

Profile:

I attended state school in the North East of England and didn’t know any lawyers growing up. I am passionate about making the legal profession more accessible.

I decided to become a lawyer at university. Before then, it was never a career I had ever considered – I certainly didn’t know any lawyers growing up. I set about applying for training contracts and trying to get as much work experience as I could through placement schemes and internships.

I began my training contract at Charles Russell Speechlys in 2010 and qualified into the Family department in 2012.

I advise clients in many different areas of family law including divorce, arrangements for children and pre-nuptial agreements. Most of my cases have an international element. I am fortunate to have been involved in a number of high profile cases reported in the legal and wider press, and participated in hearings at the High Court and Court of Appeal.
