Why did you choose to specialise in this area of law?
During my training I felt that these departments best suited my abilities and personality. There's a lot of client contact, which I enjoy.  I am able to help clients through very difficult times.
 
What has been the highlight of your career so far?
Definitely qualifying. After three years at university, followed by a year at Christleton Law School and then a two year training contract - to actually qualify as a solicitor is a major highlight!
 
What do you feel most passionate about within your working life?
My clients.  I try to ensure that they receive an excellent service in a relaxed but professional atmosphere.
 
What do you feel most passionate about within your home life?
My home. I've aimed to make it inviting and warm which has meant constant decorating since we bought the place, but it has been worthwhile!
 
If you won the lottery tomorrow, what is the first thing you would do?
Buy a house with large enough grounds to allow our dogs to run around all day...
