Hello, I joined Cullimore Dutton in April 2021 as a Legal Director in the Litigation team.
I am an experienced solicitor and litigator with over 24 years specialising in:
I act for Private and Social Landlords, Freeholders, Management Companies and Developers.
I am a Member of the Liverpool Law Society General Committee and Vice Chair of the Civil Litigation Sub-Committee. In addition, I was a founder member of the Law Clinic at Liverpool University, I am a Charitable Trustee for Merseyside Water Rescue, a Liverpool-based charity, and a board member and recent committee member of Mosscare St Vincent’s Housing Association.
I am an experienced external speaker and have appeared regularly on behalf of Central Law Training, Northern Housing Consortium and ALARM. I am a regular contributor to specialist publications and have had several articles published in the national press.
In my spare time I enjoy sewing and upholstery, travelling and walking with my two dogs.
Hello, I joined the firm in 1983 and am the longest serving member of the support team, with over nearly nearly 40 years service.
I work as a Legal Assistant in the Commercial Litigation Department assisting team with all types of commercial litigation work including debt recovery matters and High Court Enforcement matters.
I enjoy working closely with clients, offering help and support at what can often be a very stressful time for the individuals involved.
In my spare time I enjoy socialising with friends, reading, horse racing, and motor sports. I’m a keen follower of the Isle of Man TT Races and an ACU accredited Race Marshal. I’m also a big football fan and a proud season ticket holder at Liverpool FC, much to the chagrin of our MD, Andy, who is an Evertonian. Poor chap.
I joined Cullimore Dutton in November 2021 as a Legal Assistant in the Commercial Litigation team while studying for my Legal Practice Course (LPC) and Master’s in business law. I completed both qualifications in August 2022 achieving a Distinction in my Masters and was delighted to be promoted to the role of Paralegal in the same month.
In the third year of my undergraduate degree at Sheffield Hallam University, I obtained the highest marks amongst my peers when studying Mooting – developing skills for legal arguments, legal research and looking at the nuances of case law and judgements. Litigation is an area of Law which has always intrigued me, as such I am extremely excited to be part of a team working in this area.
I am very much aware how fortunate I am to be working alongside such skilled and experienced colleagues and I am looking forward to learning from them while developing and progressing in my career.
Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors whether hiking up a mountain or sailing a boat. I also enjoy spending quality time with my friends, family, and my chocolate Labrador Nelson.
Hello, I joined Cullimore Dutton in May 2023 as a Solicitor in the Litigation team having spent several years with an international law firm based in Liverpool.
My background is in the public and private healthcare sectors where I have acted for large insurers, private healthcare companies and NHS Trusts in a variety of contentious matters. In my role at Cullimore Dutton I act for Private and Social Landlords, Freeholders, Management Companies, Developers, Limited Companies and Shareholders. I deal with all manner of litigated matters including contractual/commercial disputes, property disputes and debt recovery.
I am experienced in bringing and defending a variety of applications and claims and endeavour to resolve disputes in a commercial manner through a process of negotiation, mediation, and litigation.
Outside of work, I am a keen sportsman and play for my local cricket and football teams. I also enjoy watching England and Lancashire in the cricket whenever they play at Old Trafford.
Hello, I joined Cullimore Dutton in July 2023 as a Paralegal in the Property Litigation team.
Prior to joining Cullimore Dutton I worked as an Assistant Paralegal within an in-house legal team at a large UK housebuilder, a role I held for five years. Alongside my full-time role, I have been, and continue to study for my CILEX Level 6 Diploma in Law and Practice which, once completed, will give me Chartered Legal Executive status. Ultimately my long-term aim is to qualify as a Solicitor.
In my previous role I was also an ambassador for young people looking to start a career in law. I am very passionate about promoting CILEX as a viable route into the legal profession and believe that it provides huge benefits, enabling students to earn whilst they learn and gain real “on the job” skills and knowledge.
I have experience in dealing with contract disputes, boundary disputes, nuisance, trespass, debt recovery, litigation/dispute resolution and much more. My role at Cullimore Dutton also involves Landlord and Tenant matters and acting for Management Companies.
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time designing and decorating my new home, and I enjoy going for walks, playing netball and spending time with my friends and family.
