T: 01789 206151
I joined Lodders as a trainee in 2001. My jobs before that included working on Saturdays at the haberdashery in Peter Jones and tending bar at the White Hart in Whitechapel.
I am now a partner in the Private Client department and head of the Care & Capacity team. I advise clients on powers of attorney, Court of Protection applications, care funding, wills and estate planning. I also manage the financial affairs of people who are unable to do this themselves.
I specialise in the preparation and registration of enduring and Lasting Powers of Attorney, the appointment of Deputies and management of financial affairs, care funding and reclaiming care fees. I have a large variety of clients, although the majority are older and more vulnerable.
I regularly present at seminars and events, and write for publications on the work areas that I specialise in.
