I am a Trainee in Michelmores’ Restructuring & Insolvency team and joined Michelmores in August 2022.
In my previous seat, I worked closely with a variety of local planning authorities to draft and advise on deed of variation agreements, a variety of infrastructure agreements and proposed development work. My work in the Construction and Engineering team was a mix of transactional and contentious and allowed me to work with a range of public bodies, companies and individuals.
Although new to the Firm I am quickly gaining experience of a wide range of work and enjoy engaging with clients from different backgrounds. Additionally, as each client has very different requirements I aim to work quickly to develop an understanding of their needs and how I can work to assist them and deliver the high quality of work that Michelmores is known for.
Prior to working at Michelmores I worked as a Conveyancing Paralegal. This work allowed me to build a foundational knowledge of property law which I am now able to develop at Michelmores.
