Solicitor

Jessica has previously acted for agricultural clients in contract disputes concerning defective machinery, probate, and partnership and shareholder disputes. Jessica has advised in complex, technical areas such as electrical safety certification and is always prepared to do the research to understand the finer detail of the subject matter in order to advise effectively on the dispute.
Jessica’s areas of practice include:
- Contractual disputes, both business to business and consumer
- Debt recovery, charging orders on property
- Shareholder and partnership disputes
- Contentious probate and disputes arising out of wills and estates
