My role
I am a solicitor working in the court of protection team, specialising in helping individuals who are not deemed to have the legal capacity to manage their property and finances. This could be due to a wide range of reasons including suffering a brain injury, dementia or any other cognitive impairment.
My experience
I completed my training contract with Anthony Collins in September 2018 and qualified as a solicitor in the childcare team. I joined the court of protection team in late 2021.
