TELL US A BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU DO

I am truly passionate about the agricultural sector in which I work, if I wasn’t a lawyer I’d be a farmer!

I help my farming clients put all kinds of disputes behind them but also work with them to spot and avoid potentially tricky issues before they become problems. Think of me as one of the vitamins you need to stay healthy, not the ambulance you call if something goes wrong!

WHAT DO CLIENTS LIKE ABOUT YOU AND THE WAY YOU WORK?

I can advise best when I really get to know and understand my clients. Being part of Carbon Law enables me to work in a bespoke way, which few ‘traditional’ lawyers can do. I run my own business here, so I understand exactly what my clients need.

I’m very much a people person and love building that essential rapport with clients.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING?

My horses, gardening and vintage machinery, including steam engines. I’m never happier than when in overalls or jodhpurs! I love the countryside and live in a rural village in West Worcestershire with 2 children, 2 dogs and 2 horses.
