I am part of the firm’s internal training programme and am currently based in the Dispute Resolution team. I assist with a range of contentious matters. My responsibilities include conducting legal research, preparing and reviewing legal documents, managing case files and preparing matters for Court.
As part of the training programme, I will work in four practice areas: Dispute Resolution, Wills and Probate, Property and Family Law.
Having grown up in Jersey, I always knew it was where I would return to build my future.
My route into law was not necessarily a conventional one. I studied Modern Languages and Cultures at Newcastle University, specialising in Spanish, which gave me the opportunity to spend a year abroad. I spent four months volunteering with a sea turtle conservation charity in Costa Rica before moving to Barcelona to continue my studies.
Living in two very different countries allowed me to experience different cultures and ways of life. It gave me a greater appreciation for the perspectives of others and an understanding of how people's backgrounds and experiences can shape the way they see the world.
My interest in law stems from an appreciation of the role it plays in people's lives and the difference it can make. Although I did not study law at university, I have always been attracted to the intellectual challenge, problem-solving and human interaction that a career in law offers. I particularly value the human side of law and the opportunity to support individuals through some of the most challenging periods of their lives. For me, law is ultimately about the people behind the cases, understanding their individual circumstances and helping them find a way forward.
