I am a Paralegal in the Care and Capacity team at Wollens, based in our South Devon office.

I joined Wollens in May 2025 after completing my LLB in Scots and English law at Strathclyde University. I started as a legal assistant within the Care and Capacity team of the Private Client Department and have recently progressed to the role of Paralegal.

As a Paralegal my work focuses on supporting the specialist lawyers in the Care and Capacity and helping individuals and families navigate their way through sensitive and complex capacity issues. Capacity work is extremely rewarding and allows me to build strong relationships with clients. I also assist in setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney, an essential legal document in helping client’s plan for the future and ensure that their wishes and feelings are clearly expressed.

Outside of work I enjoy catching up with friends and family, long walks with my dog and searching for the best matcha in Torquay!

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.
