What volunteering or passion projects do you do outside of work?
“All my free time at the moment is spent looking after my six-month-old puppy, Wooster!”
What’s your biggest achievement to date?

What advice/quote would you give to future graduates wanting to join Walker Morris?
“Think very carefully about what makes Walker Morris different and why that’s what you’re looking for in a firm.”
What one thing do you love about your job?
“Learning how all sorts of different businesses work.”
Why did you choose us?
“I spent the first fifteen years of my career working at big, international law firms in London and wanted a change but it wasn’t until the pandemic hit that it became realistic to continue to live in London but work for a Leeds-based firm. The culture at Walker Morris and the fact that it has a single office were big attractions for me.”
