What has been the highlight of your practice over the past 12 months?

In the last 12 months I have moved from London to South Yorkshire. I now work from Stewarts' Leeds based office and continue to work on complex finance and private children law matters across the country.

What advice would you give rising stars/new lawyers in the private client world?

The law is extremely important but so is disseminating it in a way which is calm and logical. No matter how urgent it is, take time to think about the consequences of what you are being asked to do and evaluate whether it is the right thing for your client.

What is your favourite quote?

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit,” Aristotle.

Do you have any outside interests or hobbies?

When travel permits, I can often be found either hiking or riding across the Rockies.

When the restaurants reopen, where would you like to go?

When in London, I enjoy the home made delights of Ida in Queens Park.
