Samantha is a Trainee Solicitor in our Corporate & Private Equity team.
Samantha studied her LLB at the University of Sussex and her LPC/LLM at City, University of London.
During this time, she volunteered as a Gateway Assessor for Citizens Advice, a research associate for the Earth Law Centre and a workshop facilitator for the Schools Consent Project. Samantha was also part of setting up the first student housing co-operative in the South-East of England.
Samantha previously worked as a paralegal at a top 100 law firm and prior to that as a Research Associate in the law department at the University of Sussex. Her research was focused on the extent to which planning law was being harnessed by a local authority to facilitate urban food production, an activity with widely acknowledged environmental and social credentials.
Driven, technical and forward thinking, Samantha is keen to continue engaging with private businesses and public bodies investing in a sustainable and resilient built environment.
