Ellie Parkinson
I graduated from Northumbria University with a Bachelor of Law First Class Honours
After graduating I spent a year with a firm in Newcastle as a paralegal in their civil litigation department.
Once I gained some valuable legal experience, I decided that becoming a solicitor was the right career path for me and therefore rejoined Northumbria University to gain a postgraduate diploma in legal practice during which time I studied family law and developed a keen interest in this area.
Since completing my Legal Practice Diploma in June 2024 I have joined the team at Watson and Woodhouse as a trainee solicitor in the Family Law Department.
