About Me

I was born in King’s Lynn, and now live in South Wootton together with my wife and young daughter.

Outside of work I enjoy watching most sports, mainly rugby, football, athletics and cricket. I have been a season ticket holder at both Norwich City FC and Leicester Tigers.

I also enjoy time spent on the North Norfolk Coast.

My Work History & Experience

I initially studied Sociology at Durham University, before then studying Law at Nottingham Law School. There I completed the Graduate Diploma in Law, and the Legal Practice Course.

Thereafter, I completed my training contract at a local firm of Solicitors in King’s Lynn, qualifying into their Private Client Department in November 2015. I have also worked in the Private Client Department for another firm of Solicitors, in Fakenham.

My Time at Ward Gethin Archer

I initially moved to Ward Gethin Archer’s Swaffham office in January 2018, where I worked for five and a half years in the Private Client Department.

After that, and having worked for a brief period at another firm, I moved to Ward Gethin Archer’s Private Client team, in King’s Lynn, in January 2025.

I specialise in Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Registering Enduring Powers of Attorney, Probate and the Administration of Estates, together with Court of Protection matters.
