Eloise Smith
Solicitor
I qualified as a solicitor in March 2024 and I have over 5 year’s experience in Court of Protection work.
What do you most enjoy about your role?
My role gives me the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable individuals who lack capacity to make their own decisions by ensuring their best interests are represented in decisions related to their property and financial affairs. I find the work deeply fulfilling.
What are your strengths and skills?
I have specialised legal knowledge in mental capacity law and related legislation, including the complex legal principles related to decision-making on behalf of individuals who cannot do so themselves.
My ability to problem solve enables me to assist Deputies with difficult decisions regarding a person’s property and finances by proposing practical solutions and navigating intricate family dynamics to find outcomes in the best interest of the individual.
Tell me about a memorable time when you have helped a client.
One of the most rewarding achievements of my career was when I lead a project to adapt a vulnerable client’s property to enable her to move out of a care home and back into her own home. The client was deeply unhappy in the care home, and the building work was all done during the pandemic, which added an extra level of complexity. It was lovely to see her back in familiar surroundings.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy unwinding by watching films, going on walks on the South Downs and running on the seafront in Brighton.
