Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

Digitalisation is unavoidable, and the pensions industry is not immune.  I am helping trustees prepare for the compulsory connection of their scheme's data to pensions dashboards that will be introduced from 2023. I also work with OC Solutions to develop innovative digital ways of providing our legal services in a way that is most helpful to our pensions clients.

I am passionate about breaking down barriers to progression in the legal industry, whatever those barriers may be. I seek out opportunities to provide access and insight into the legal profession for those who might not otherwise have them. As a volunteer in the legal internship programme organised by 'upReach', I provided mock interviews to aspiring trainees from disadvantaged backgrounds.
