I joined Butcher & Barlow in January 2021 as a Paralegal in the Commercial Dispute Resolution Department based at our dedicated commercial office at Gadbrook Park where I assisted the Head of Dispute Resolution, Alex Sandland on a range of Commercial Dispute Resolution matters. I also worked within the specialist Property Dispute Department with a particular focus on landlord and tenant disputes, both residential and commercial. When I commenced my training contract with the Firm, my training was spread across various areas, however I found myself enjoying Commercial Property and Construction the most, assisting Rachel Martin, Partner and Co-Head of the Commercial Property Department where I gained a wealth of knowledge and valuable experience.

I qualified as a Solicitor in March 2024 specialising in Commercial Property and Property Dispute Resolution where I undertake a range of work including:

  • Drafting of leases for both landlords and tenants, renewal leases, assignments, deeds of variation, licences for alterations
  • Commercial Property disputes
  • Landlord and Tenant disputes

I have a keen interest in charitable work and have volunteered with East Cheshire Hospice since 2017. I have also sat on the committee for the ‘Friends of Baguley Hall’ as the heritage coordinator since May 2019 and have recently been appointed as a Trustee for the group. We have been engaging with Historic England, English Heritage and the local community to secure a future for the magnificent grade 1 listed medieval hall in Manchester. My interests outside the office include visiting historical sites of interest and museums, in my spare time I enjoy walking around the Peak District and reading.

    What our clients say about Paige

    Butcher & Barlow were recommended by a friend. From our first telephone conversation, I was impressed with Paige's knowledge and speed in finding the right pathway for us to follow to obtain the required result. My experience of Solicitors has never been amiable. Except for now. I would highly recommend Paige.

    L Ingham

    Registration of property with Land Registry. We could not have had a better experience with this difficult exercise. We were kept updated throughout the process and every effort was made to conclude the matter as quickly as possible. The cost was very reasonable and it was a pleasure to deal with such pleasant people. We would definitely recommend.

    Heswall Maranatha Trust

    I have used Butcher & Barlow Solicitors for many years. Paige immediately understood my problem and pointed me in the right direction to resolve the issue. I can't thank Paige enough for all her wisdom and help and I know that if the problem should return, I can go back to her for more help.

    Very effective work in collecting overdue rent and preparing for lease forfeiture.

    Exceptional Service. We used Paige in a very sensitive and upsetting commercial situation. She was supportive and helpful, and went above and beyond to help us. Paige kept us fully updated and was very kind with us at a very upsetting time. Thank you Paige. Would definitely recommend.
