Position

Associate Solicitor

Career

I am an Associate in the Wills, Trusts and Probate team at Phillips Law, having joined the team in September 2025.

I take great pride in supporting my clients in navigating their own personal estate planning considerations or in dealing with the administrative burden following the death of a loved one. My expertise allows me to provide assistance to individuals on a range of complex legal matters with clarity and compassion.

Law is my second career; I initially obtained a degree in English Language and Linguistics, following which I had a career organising events for a well-known fruit and veg company. It was pure chance that led me away from this and into the legal profession, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenges and rewards that working in law has brought me.

Area of legal specialism

Personal

A little more about me

Outside of work, you will usually find me on a long and muddy walk, singing in my local choir, or pottering around antique shops looking for treasures. My partner and I have just moved to the countryside near Basingstoke and are enjoying exploring the many lovely walks around us as well as getting involved in our local community.

If I can assist with your Will, Powers of Attorney, or matters relating to the administration of an estate following a death, please do get in touch.
