Overview

I am a Paralegal in Michelmores’ Tax, Trusts & Succession team, where I support the delivery of high-quality legal services across a broad range of private client matters.

My work spans taxation, estate planning, trust administration and succession, and includes legal research, drafting wills and trust documentation, preparing probate applications, managing client correspondence, and assisting with the administration of estates and complex wealth structures.

I have particular experience in charity legacy administration, acting on behalf of charitable beneficiaries in the administration of estates. This involves liaising with personal representatives, co-beneficiaries and third parties to ensure estates are administered efficiently and in accordance with both legal requirements and the interests of the charities involved.

Before joining Michelmores in January 2026, I worked as a Paralegal in a Family law team, where I gained valuable experience in litigation processes and developed a strong ability to support clients through sensitive and often challenging circumstances. This background has strengthened my attention to detail, communication skills and ability to build trust with clients.

I graduated from the University of Exeter in 2023 with a First Class Honours degree in Law.
