In 2024, I graduated from Northumbria University with a First Class Master’s in Law (MLaw), with exemption from the Legal Practice Course (LPC). During my studies, I gained experience across a range of legal areas, including Family Law and Conveyancing. Most notably, I spent a year participating in the University’s Student Law Office, advising clients on Family and Employment matters.

Upon graduating in June 2024, I joined Macks Solicitors as a Legal Secretary, initially working within the Employment department. In this role, I gained experience assisting with employment disputes and settlement agreements, whilst liaising directly with clients.

I subsequently moved into to the Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence department, where I further broadened my experience by assisting with a range of matters including Road Traffic Accidents, Employers’ Liability and Public liability accidents and clinical negligence claims.

I have now commenced my Training Contract with Macks in the Family department, where I will be working on a variety of matters including, divorce and separation, child arrangements, financial matters and pre-nuptial agreements. I am looking forward to continuing to develop my professional skills and building on the experience I have gained so far, whilst working towards qualifying as a solicitor.
