I began my solicitor apprenticeship at Watson Woodhouse in September 2024 and currently work in the Civil Litigation and Court of Protection teams working closely with vulnerable clients. In my role, it is essential to be empathetic and compassionate, so our clients feel supported when they need help the most.

Part of my role is to support solicitors who deal with cases involving Court of Protection matters, actions against public authorities, human rights breaches, inquests, personal injury cases and CICA claims. Assisting solicitors in dealing with these matters has fuelled my commitment to strive for excellence.

The solicitor apprenticeship programme is invaluable as not only will I gain a degree, but I will also have the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills I have developed on a day-to-day basis which is needed to excel in the legal profession. As I continue through my six-year journey, I look forward to working in different areas of law in which I can practice my skills and interests, making a meaningful contribution.
