Annie is a trainee solicitor completing her secondment seat in commercial litigation with Silverback Law. She is currently in the final seat of her training contract and is set to qualify as a solicitor in June 2025. With nearly a decade of experience as a fee-earning paralegal in both international and high-street law firms, she brings a wealth of legal knowledge and practical expertise to her role.

Annie’s responsibilities include drafting legal documents, conducting research, attending court hearings, and corresponding with clients. This hands-on experience allows her to expand her knowledge of commercial litigation as she prepares for qualification.

She holds a law degree from the Open University and a master’s degree in law, with a focus on commercial property and issues relating to onerous ground rent. She has also completed the LPC at the University of Law, selecting electives in commercial property, family law, residential property, litigation, criminal litigation, and employment law. Currently, she is undertaking the Professional Skills Course with the University of Law.

Outside of work, Annie has a passion for adventure and fitness. She enjoys flying lessons for the adrenaline rush of piloting a plane, takes on weekly spin classes, and is an avid reader of psychological thrillers. She is also a keen netball player, taking on the role of wing attack in her team, and loves exploring the countryside with her miniature dachshund, Lola-Bear, as well as horse riding.
