Career
I trained at Greenwoods Legal LLP in Peterborough and qualified there in 1996. After a further 6 months, I then moved to Eversheds in Norwich in their Property Litigation team. I then returned to Peterborough and went in-house for a legal expenses company overseeing international personal injury claims and other civil litigation before moving to Hunt and Coombs in 1998. I had a career break in 2001 to raise our children and returned to work part-time in 2014 undertaking civil litigation and contested probate work for a small firm in Spalding, Calthrops Solicitors LLP. I then joined Taylor Rose MW in 2000 and was made a Partner in 2021. I then became Joint Head of the Contested Probate team in July 2023.
