I’m a Solicitor Apprentice based in Birmingham, currently working within Shoosmiths’ Commercial team. I joined the firm in 2024 through its six-year Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship, combining practical experience with the academic study required to qualify as a solicitor.

My experience spans commercial contracts and real estate. In my current seat, I support the team with contract review and drafting, commercial due diligence, and data protection matters. This includes comparing agreements against precedents, identifying contractual risks and helping to translate complex legal issues into clear, practical advice.

Previously, I spent a year in Real Estate, principally supporting corporate occupiers and portfolio clients. I worked on lease reviews, reporting on key lease provisions, completion documentation, execution, and post-completion matters. This gave me experience across the lifecycle of transactions, as well as an understanding of how individual matters fit within a client’s wider property portfolio.
