With a professional history spanning 22 years at Braye Cragg Solicitors, including a tenure as a former Partner, I embarked on an entrepreneurial path and established my own practice. Now after 23 years, I’ve come full circle, returning to Braye Cragg Solicitors as a Consultant and assisting the next generation of lawyers with their legal careers.
With over four decades of invaluable experience across various facets of law, I offer clients comprehensive assistance across a spectrum of legal matters. My focus primarily lies in commercial transactions and developments, conveyancing, commercial transactions, estate administration, and estate planning.
Whether navigating complex cases or interpreting intricate legal principles, I enjoy the stimulation and challenge inherent in working on a case and dealing with the law.
