Bio

    I joined Porter Dodson in 2024, having previously trained and worked in other Somerset firms. I qualified as a solicitor in 2009 and have specialised in private client throughout my legal career. I am a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).

    I advise on all aspects of estate administration (including complex estates); succession planning (including the preparation of wills and the creation of trusts); and mental capacity matters (including the preparation and registration of lasting powers of attorney and making Court of Protection applications). 

    I provide friendly, pragmatic and strategic support to clients during difficult and important times. I am skilled at breaking down and clearly explaining complex legal concepts. I also have a wealth of experience negotiating the processes and systems required to complete matters efficiently and correctly.

    I enjoy a variety of outdoor sports, particularly cycling and skiing with my family. I am half French and like to spend time in France. I also volunteer for several community projects/organisations.
