About

I am a Trainee Solicitor with fours year of experience at Lewis Silkin having joined in 2022 under the Apprentice route. Upon joining, I spent two years with our Immigration Team, assisting with all aspects of Business Immigration, where I developed a keen interest on sports immigration matters for our clients in the sector. I worked closely to support clients on compliance issues, using my technical knowledge to advise on a variety of issues relating to sponsorship.

I moved into the Employment Team in 2024 where I assisted with a comprehensive range of general employment matters and litigation in the Employment Tribunal. The bulk of my experience though came from matters in Arbitration or the High Court. These often related to the enforceability of restrictive covenants; the misuse of confidential information and team moves.

Increasing social mobility is an area of focus for me, and I am actively involved in supporting the firms efforts to support this cause. I have been shortlisted as a finalist in the UK SOMO Awards in the category of Rising Star of the Year.
