I qualified as a solicitor in 2007 at a national firm and have subsequently spent my career in the Southwest specialising in inheritance tax planning and trusts. I joined Porter Dodson as a partner in 2024.
I have 15 years of experience in advising high net worth individuals, farming and business clients with their estate and succession planning. I am also able to assist clients in creating vulnerable beneficiary trusts where appropriate and personal injury trusts for those who have recently received a compensation award.
I like to offer a flexible approach to tax planning, with the understanding that circumstances and priorities change over time. By building relationships with my clients, I aim to provide practical advice and solutions that will stand the test of time.
Outside of work I can be found dragging my whippet and italian greyhound around the local countryside in the rain, playing the piano, cooking and travelling the world when I am able.
