As a Chartered Legal Executive (FCILEx) within the Property department, I bring a unique and comprehensive perspective to my work. My journey to qualification began with a degree in Psychology, providing me with a strong foundation in understanding human behaviour and communication – invaluable assets in navigating the sensitive and often complex matters that come with property work.
While pursuing my legal studies to qualify as a lawyer, I gained practical experience through legal secretarial and paralegal roles, building a robust understanding of legal procedures and client service. My professional experience includes working with top city firms, where I honed my attention to detail and ability to handle high-value, complex cases. I have over 25 years of experience working in property law and demonstrate a deep understanding of the intricacies of property transactions. I qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive lawyer (FCILEx) in 2016.
My passion lies in providing clear, empathetic, and effective legal guidance to clients. I understand the importance of delivering positive outcomes and take great satisfaction in assisting clients through significant life events such as buying and selling property. I am committed to ensuring clients feel supported and informed throughout the legal process. My experience extends to assisting with residential, mixed use and commercial sales and acquisitions, leases, refinance portfolios, remortgages and transfers of equity.
I am a firm believer in embracing opportunities and approaching challenges with a positive mindset. This philosophy extends beyond my professional life, driving my commitment to charitable work and global exploration. I have a long history of involvement in charity projects and have travelled extensively, fostering a broad understanding of diverse cultures and perspectives. Outside of my professional life, I am a dedicated mother to my young son, who shares my passion for travel.
