    About
    I qualified as a solicitor in January 2024 and joined HCB Solicitors in June 2024.

    Whilst completing my Legal Practice Course, I worked as a paralegal in a Cardiff-based firm within the Litigation and subsequently the Private Client department where I assisted with Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and the administration of Estates.

    I then obtained a training contract in a firm based in Newport where I mostly worked within the conveyancing department managing my own caseload of residential sales and purchases whilst also assisting in the Private Client and Crime departments.

    My enjoyment for helping people ignited my interest in Education Law. I strongly believe that all children and young people with special education needs deserve the educational support that enables them to achieve their full potential and am grateful that I can put this into practice in my role at HCB.
