Empowering teams with analytical insight and a commitment to excellence

I joined Shoosmiths in September 2025 as a Trainee Solicitor and I am currently in my first seat in the Litigation, Regulatory & Compliance (Commercial Insurance) team in Manchester. I work alongside colleagues to support clients on a range of commercial insurance matters, developing my skills in dispute resolution and regulatory advice.

Before joining Shoosmiths, I was a Real Estate Paralegal, assisting on both residential and commercial property transactions. This experience gave me a strong foundation in client service and transaction management, which I now apply to my work in litigation and compliance.

I studied Law at the University of Nottingham and achieved a Distinction on the LPC/LLM at the University of Law (Chester). I am passionate about delivering practical solutions for clients and contributing to a collaborative team environment.
