About

I am a Senior Associate in our Private Client team. I grew up in Cornwall and then moved to Cardiff in 2009 to complete my LLB and LPC at Cardiff University. Before joining Buckles’ Bristol team in 2026, I spent nearly five years advising high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients on complex Estate Administration.

I have extensive experience advising on a broad range of private client matters, from straightforward Wills to complex estate and succession planning. My expertise includes inheritance tax planning, cross-border estates, and advising clients with international assets. I also advise on and prepare Lasting Powers of Attorney, oversee the administration of both UK and multi-jurisdictional estates, and advise on and draft a variety of trusts to help clients protect and preserve their wealth for future generations.

I’m a people person and I love the opportunity to build relationships with my clients.  I understand that many private client matters arise during significant life events or periods of loss, and that the legal process can often feel daunting or overwhelming. My aim is to provide clear, practical advice and support, guiding clients through each stage with empathy, reassurance, and sensitivity, while ensuring they feel informed and confident throughout.

I am also a full member of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners). Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I have two young boys who keep me busy, so most weekends are spent enjoying family adventures and making the most of time together.
