Legal Director and Professional Support Lawyer

About me

I’m the professional support lawyer to Hill Dickinson's national Real Estate team, providing technical legal support to the team and its clients.

My day-to-day role involves helping my fantastic colleagues overcome complex legal issues to facilitate their transactions. I also train and help nurture our talented junior lawyers to fulfil their potential and progress within the team, which is another aspect of the job that’s incredibly rewarding. I’m proud to say that one of my internal training courses was shortlisted for The Lawyer magazine’s Excellence in Training award.

My style is professional yet approachable and I’m a regular speaker on the firm’s client seminar programme and external events for professional bodies, including the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Retail and Leisure Agents Society. To date, I’ve delivered over 300 seminars!

One of the things I love to do is write and my articles regularly appear in newsletters and various legal and property publications, including a regular column in Estates Gazette.
