Bio

I joined Porter Dodson in 2005 and was made a partner in February 2013. In January 2022 I became Managing Partner.  

 Whilst managing the firm day to day I still maintain my private practice, specialising in private client matters, including Wills, probate, trusts and inheritance tax planning. I have a particular interest in dealing with agricultural and landed estates, agricultural successions and also conflicts in intestacy.  

 I have strong local ties, having grown up in the area as a farmer’ daughter, giving me a better understanding of specific needs, particularly in the rural sector. 

 In my spare time I enjoy trail running, dog walking and am pleased to have started playing netball for Team PD!  

I am a member of the Society of Trusts & Estate Practitioners and I am a Recommended Lawyer by The Legal 500.
