I joined Lawrence Stephens as a solicitor in the Private Wealth Disputes team in March 2024.  

I originally studied English Literature and Philosophy at the University of East Anglia (UEA), graduating in 2019. I converted to law by completing the Graduate Diploma in Law at UEA and subsequently the LPC at the University of Law. I also spent a year abroad at the University of Groningen studying International and European Law.  

My areas of focus within litigation are:

  • Claims for dependency under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975;
  • Challenges to the validity of wills;
  • Mental capacity challenges;
  • Actions brought and defended in respect of trusts;
  • Estoppel claims; failed promises, breaches of agreements, constructive and resulting trust claims; and
  • Professional negligence. 

Generally, I will represent beneficiaries of estates and trusts, those excluded from inheritance unfairly, trustees, executors, attorneys and deputies.    

As part of the wider contentious trusts and Probate team, we not only work within the UK, but also deal with international matters with a connection to the UK – for example, in relation to the assets claimed, the person we are representing and the location of the trust or estate.  

Outside of work, I enjoy playing five-a-side football, surfing and tennis. I also watch AFC Bournemouth.

I joined Lawrence Stephens as a trainee in September 2023, having completed the LPC with Distinction at BPP University.  Prior to that, I read Law at the University of Leeds, where I graduated with First-class honours.

I aspire to build a successful career in law where trust, collaboration and commitment define my relationships with both colleagues and clients.

As a Cypriot/American, I seek to bring a diverse perspective to my legal practice. My multicultural background and international awareness allows me to cultivate meaningful connections, extending far beyond borders.

In my free time, I cherish moments with friends and family, explore new destinations and cuisines through travel, and find joy in the company of dogs!
