I have been practicing law since 2013 in various different capacities. Over the years, the industry has changed significantly, mostly for the good. I am a property specialist and deal with all aspects of property law, from residential sales and purchases to complex high-net-worth commercial acquisitions. I also deal with the more unique agreements that investors need, for example, rent-to-rent and management agreements. I also deal with option agreements for investors.
I am happy to help and assist anyone that may need some guidance or advice. It can be through a transaction or just some initial advice, which I am more than happy to give. I am a firm believer in solid, honest and trustworthy advice and am a massive advocate for this.

I have worked in law firm practice management for 17 years, and in 2024 I brought that experience to Cooklaw as Practice Manager. My role is centred on driving the firm’s operational efficiency and supporting the strategic direction of the business, ensuring that everything runs smoothly for both our team and our clients.
My background, combined with a deep understanding of legal operations, allows me to contribute to a high standard of service, consistency and efficiency throughout the firm.
I am always happy to help, support and guide where needed, whether it’s resolving operational challenges or assisting the team in delivering the best possible client experience. Clear, reliable and well-structured processes are central to how I work, and I’m committed to maintaining a professional and supportive environment for both colleagues and clients.
