I grew up in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, and am married with two children.
When not working, I enjoy baking, running and visiting the gym.
I am a parent governor for a local Primary School
I undertook a dual honors degree at Keele Univeristy,choosing to specialise in Law in my third year to obtain my LLB in 2006. I then completed my LPC at BPP Manchester in 2007.
I carried out my training contract in Cambridge between 2007 and 2009, gaining experience in a range of areas of law before deciding to qualify into litigation.
After qualifying in 2009, I stayed with the firm I trained at. In 2012 I moved to a Dispute Resolution department in a larger legal 500 firm in London. I was there for five years before joining Ward Gethin Archer.
Since qualifying as a solicitor, I have conducted a wide range of cases through the county and high courts, arbitrations, and tribunals.
I qualified as a solicitor in 2009, and have therefore been qualified for over 10 years. I joined Ward Gethin Archer's Dispute Resolution team in June 2017.
Since qualifying I have only worked in litigation and dispute resolution roles. This has been interesting and provided me with experience in a wide range of issues across different areas of law, enabling me to develop my skills and knowledge and provide practical advice to my clients.
I help with contractual disputes, property ownership disputes, boundary disputes, inheritance disputes, professional negligence claims and debt recovery. I tend to deal with the more complicated and challenging cases, and act in a supervisory role for other members of the team.
I adopt a practical and pragmatic approach to trying to resolve a wide range of disputes, assisting private individuals as well as commercial entities and charities.
In my work, I strive to provide advice that is both practical and cost-effective for my client's specific circumstances.
