Further information

Paris can support and advise you on many aspects of private client work, whether you are an executor needing guidance or an individual looking to make their first Will.

Paris has been practising as a solicitor since March 2017 but her legal training started back in 2014 when she was employed as a commercial paralegal with a regional firm of solicitors. As a trainee solicitor she was immediately drawn to private client work; she loves the client contact, the regularly changing legal landscape, and seeing our solutions have a real impact on the everyday lives of our clients.

In her spare time she can be found out in the countryside with her golden retriever, Gus, and putting her DIY skills to the test renovating their old Victorian terrace. Whenever she gets the chance to travel her destinations of choice are the Scandinavian countries; her trips are usually packed with challenging hikes and trying not to roll a kayak!
