I joined Lawrence Stephens as a Trainee Solicitor in September 2025 and currently work in the Private Wealth and Succession Planning team.
After graduating Northumbria University with a BSc in Psychology with Sports Science, I went on to complete the GDL and LPC with LLM.
Outside of work I play rugby and have travelled internationally to play rugby 7s. I also enjoy going to the gym and spending time with family and friends.
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:
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’ Private Wealth department as a paralegal in August 2023.
I have been practicing as a Solicitor in England and Wales since 19 April 2024, having previously practiced as a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand for five years
I have experience with assisting high net worth clients with their succession planning and their internal restructurings, including advising clients in relation to trusts, wills and Powers of Attorney.
In my spare time, I enjoy keeping fit at the gym, playing video games and traveling.
I’m an experienced private client lawyer with more than 20 years’ experience in acting to protect and preserve my clients’ wealth and assets.
My clients include high-net-worth-individuals (both domiciled in the UK and of non-domiciled status). I regularly advise on estate and tax planning, the preparation of complex wills and the creation and administration of trusts. I also act for clients in preparing both UK and US wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, draft declarations of trust, make applications to the Court of Protection and manage a full range of probate matters.
When not working, I have a passion for travel and adventure, and enjoy experiencing different cultures around the world. I also enjoy running, swimming and am a keen rugby fan.
I joined Lawrence Stephens in September 2022 as a trainee solicitor, and qualified in the Private Wealth team in September 2024.
I completed an undergraduate degree in Philosophy, then completed the GDL at the University of Law, before going on to study the LPC LLM whilst working as a paralegal part-time.
I’m from Devon and enjoy keeping fit, particularly through yoga and spinning.
