Lisa-Marie Hilliam

Court of Protection Paralegal

I joined Buckles in February 2020 as a Paralegal in the Court of Protection team. Previously, I worked as an in-house Paralegal for a manufacturer and a tour operator.

I am sensitive to my clients’ needs and I’m organised and adaptable in my approach. I support our Professional Deputies and Attorneys by ensuring that our vulnerable clients’ needs are being met consistently and sensitively.

Outside of work, I am a mother to two young children who keep me active. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, I am a keen runner and have a passion for playing netball.
