I trained with another local firm and qualified as a solicitor in 2004. I joined Porter Dodson as a partner in November 2024. Previously, I have been a Law Society Advanced Specialist in Financial Remedies and also Resolution accredited. I am a committee member for Somerset Resolution.
I act for a wide variety of clients, including business owners, farmers, landowners and high net worth individuals.
I aim to have a clear understanding of my client’s aspirations and concerns from the start of any matter, providing them with an empathetic but realistic approach to dispute resolution. My collaborative practice is ideal for working with clients to produce solutions tailored to the needs of the individual and their family.
Away from work I can usually be found with my husband and our teenager, whether that is watching rugby union, F1 or tennis or trying to fit in as many theatre/cinema visits as possible.
Authentic, supportive and above all, deep gentle care that was always offered. Without you, really not sure how I would have got through this emotional, spiritual and mental struggle. You’re a star! It’s been an honour to have been guided by you. Gratitude and eternal heartfelt thanks.
I used Lucy at Porter Dodson during my recent divorce from my husband. Not only were Lucy and her team extremely professional, they were reassuring and compassionate regarding my family situation and made a torrid time in my life so much easier, but outlining, what help was available and the steps to be taken and when. I couldn't fault the service I received and would highly recommend them.
