I am a Trainee Solicitor working in the Regulatory Department, specialising in sports and employment law. I joined Wollens following the successful completion of a unique placement year with both Wollens Solicitors and Exeter City Football Club as part of my law degree at the University of Exeter.
I have worked with athletes, clubs and organisations across a variety of sports, including football, rugby and cricket. I have advised on governing body regulations, disciplinary proceedings, commercial contracts, sponsorship and venue hire agreements, transfer and loan agreements, playing contracts, intellectual property rights, visas, and non-disclosure agreements. I established Exeter City Football Club’s first in-house legal function, and worked alongside the club’s Finance and Governance Committee, reviewing governance documents and constitutional matters.
I have also gained experience during a Global Leaders’ Programme with the United Nations, where I attended proceedings at the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court in The Hague, and engaged with diplomats, ambassadors and legal professionals from around the world.
As a former national swimmer selected for the England Talent Programme, university record-holder and club captain, I bring the discipline, teamwork, resilience and organisational skills developed through elite sport to my legal practice. I also enjoy running, going to the gym, travelling, music and learning languages, having studied German, Russian and Latin.

Testimonials
My will was all done remotely by phone, notes, letters due to the distance involved – about 145 miles, general health and Covid restrictions. More recently I had a serious illness with loss of driving license and other lasting problems but I have been very lucky with the outcome. What seemed difficult was much easier with the help I was given. Excellent service. Solicitor Alex Jenkins and secretary Enya Garrett have been friendly, considerate, shown knowledge in an understanding way throughout preparing my will – and I have never met them. Wollens is highly recommended.
Craig and Shirley at Wollen’s have supported us throughout a particularly tricky matter, where usual routes of communication were not possible. The advice that we were given was always very clear and concise and we found Wollen’s very responsive to any queries or concerns. They were conscious of the weighty emotional element involved but very mindful of removing the emotion from decision making processes, which made it easier to see the bigger picture. I would certainly recommend to friends or colleagues requiring legal support.
From the initial request, price quote, discussion and follow up we couldn’t have wanted a better, more personal and quick approach to help us have a contract checked over. Marco was extremely helpful, personable and knowledgeable. He cut through all the lawyers jargon and made it all very easy to understand. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wollen’s and are looking forward to working with Marco as our sons career progresses in the future.
Trusted Wollens with the sale of my share of a business that I had started from scratch some 20 years ago so as you can imagine this was quite a sensitive journey for me. Have never done anything like this before so didn’t know quite what to expect, expectations and reality are quite different, but Wollens have your best interests at heart so you can’t rush a good job. The sale has now all gone through and I can move on with the next part of my life. I thank Wollens and both Emma’s very much for all their hard work.
Excellent service and efficient kept me up dated and made this very stress free for me would definitely use this service again.
Wollens have become the preferred legal team for myself and my companies, and Challenges Property Ltd.
