I am a Solicitor in the Housing team. I joined HJA as a Housing Paralegal in March 2016 before starting my training contract with the firm in September 2017. I concluded my training in March 2019 having completed seats in the Housing, Personal Injury and Dispute Resolution departments. Across my career I have worked in Housing law for over five years.

As a keen advocate I have represented clients via the Court Duty Scheme at Barnet and Clerkenwell & Shoreditch County Courts. In addition, I have advocated in other County Courts across London on behalf of both Landlords and Tenants, in bringing and defending possession proceedings. I am also experienced in homelessness reviews and appeals, as well as disrepair matters.
