What I do

I am a Partner and Solicitor within the Residential Property and Conveyancing Team. 

My career in residential conveyancing started in 2012 and qualified as a solicitor in 2017. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to assist with all sorts of property transactions. 

Qualification year:

Admitted to the roll of Solicitor on 17th July 2017.

Supervisor:

James Johnson

I thoroughly enjoy working in the conveyancing industry and believe that my positivity towards conveyancing and delivering the highest level of client service is infectious.  

I am actively involved with the Derby and District Law Society. I am regularly seen at social and networking events for property professionals to help bring the property/ conveyancing community together. 

Finding balance in life is important to me and so away from work, my spare time is enjoyed with my family on walks out in the countryside and along canals! 

We would like to thank Misha Varia and Gemma Brien at the Leicester Office and Rachel Maxwell at the Derby Office for the help given in purchasing our bungalow and getting the sale over the line. It took a while due to Proof of Funds but we got there in the end. Speaking on the telephone with Misha and sending emails to and fro was the easy part, however we weren’t very good at other IT things. Gemma sent us paper copies for signing which helped us enormously. We are moving in today and couldn’t be more pleased with your friendly helpful and patient service, so we give Smiths Partnership a 5/5.

Saved Our Home Purchase, Forever Grateful! We can’t recommend Smith Partnership highly enough. We were caught up in the sudden closure of our solicitors. On the very day we were due to complete, our funds were frozen, our deposit was at risk because contracts had already been exchanged, and we were absolutely devastated. Donna and Rachel at Smith Partnership went above and beyond for us. Every email was answered, every concern was acknowledged, and we received daily updates without fail. They were kind, reassuring, and most importantly, completely honest throughout the process. We were incredibly fortunate to have our money returned in under two weeks, and I genuinely believe the outcome would have been very different had we been with another firm. Thanks to their hard work and support, we are now settled in our dream home, and we cannot thank them enough.
