Cara Hillary was great to work with. She helped me through a stressful time with good suggestions, a pleasant and professional manner and prompt and proactive responses. She made sure my interests were protected and drafted helpful and clear amendments. Many thanks, too, for the efficient and pleasant service by Victoria Seymour.

I graduated from the University of Winchester with a degree in Law in October 2022.
Following my graduation, I began my Solicitor Qualifying Exams (SQE) this includes the required Qualifying Work Experience (QWE). As part of my QWE, my first job within the legal sector was in conveyancing.
After completing the necessary time in conveyancing, I moved on to the private client sector and really found the area of law I knew I could thrive in. It is truly an honour to work in private client. People trust us with handling their legacies, a legacy they have spend their entire lives crafting. The importance of ensuring that what they leave behind is distributed and cared for exactly as they wish is never lost on me.
I have now worked in private client for almost two years, and I look forward to spending many more years in this area of law. I aim to qualify as a solicitor in 2026 and remain in private client with my own cases and clients to care for.
When I am not working, I enjoy participating in many different water sports. I hold qualifications in rowing, sailing, and kayaking and I thoroughly enjoy spending my time at the beach or on the water.
Further to this, I am an avid reader and have since begun writing my own book. Becoming a published author has been an aspiration of mine since I was just a little girl, so I thought it about time I start to make progress on that.
