I am a Trainee Solicitor based at Butcher & Barlow’s Gadbrook Park office. I currently work within the Dispute Resolution Department, assisting Jill Benbow, Mark Turner, Asim Din and Daniel Ralphson, developing my practical experience of contentious matters.
I joined the firm in May 2026 and began my training within the Wills, Trusts & Estates Team, assisting Partner Chris Hopkins. This provided a valuable introduction to supporting clients with important personal matters. Moving into Dispute Resolution has allowed me to broaden my experience and develop my understanding of the challenges faced by individuals and businesses.
I studied law at Manchester Metropolitan University, graduating with First-Class Honours. I have recently started my Solicitors Qualifying Examination preparation course with BARBRI, working towards sitting the SQE1 examinations in July 2027. Alongside my studies, I enjoy applying my academic knowledge in practice and learning from experienced colleagues across the firm.
I aim to bring an approachable and attentive manner to my work, recognising the importance of listening carefully and communicating clearly. I am particularly interested in understanding each client’s circumstances and priorities, supporting the team in finding practical solutions and achieving the best possible outcome for clients.
Outside of work, I have a keen interest in cars and enjoy playing football. I have recently taken up golf and am also giving running a go, although I am still waiting to experience the much-talked-about “runner’s high”! I also enjoy spending time with family and friends and getting out for walks with my miniature dachshund, Albie.
