Career History

After graduating from a London University with a Business Studies Degree, I worked at large multi-international companies in areas of finance and research where I gained excellent commercial experience. In 2005, I changed my career to law and went on to complete my conversion courses with commendations. I worked at various Central London and Hertfordshire solicitor firms accumulating extensive experience. I completed my solicitors training contract at a Hertfordshire firm and qualified as a solicitor in December 2016. Since then I have been working and specialising in the area of Private Client at firms in North London and St. Albans.

I joined Neves in October 2022 as an Associate Solicitor in the Wills and Probate Department, helping clients with critical aspects of their personal lives, particularly protecting their financial assets.

Experience

I am passionate about my specialism and help clients in a very approachable and empathetic manner. Assisting clients, at what is often the most vulnerable time in their lives, is why I chose this area of law.

My clients receive a very professional service delivered in a down to earth and caring way which are vital traits required to work in this area of law. Advice is delivered in a straightforward and friendly manner in what are usually sensitive circumstances for clients and is very much tailored to the client’s individual circumstances and needs.

I believe in working together as a team with clients to achieve their objectives and desired outcomes. I can also communicate with clients in Turkish.

I have STEP qualifications in Estate Administration and Trusts both of which I achieved distinctions. I advise on estate planning, wills, trusts, LPAs, deputyships, probate and estate administration and inheritance tax. I am also a member of The Association of Lifetime Lawyers (formerly Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) and Dementia Friends.

Every estate is different and I have diverse experience in dealing with many different sizes and types of estates.

What makes me human

I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and two wonderful and energetic boys who keep me busy outside of work with all their activities and school work. I enjoy movies, eating good food, 90’s music and travelling. When travelling, I like to explore and discover new places and eat in authentic restaurants. I am also a proud Elvis fan!

Neves Solicitors has further strengthened the specialist Private Client team with the appointment of Associate, Leyla Mehru, who is based at our Harpenden office.

Leyla and her team proved most helpful during the sad passing of my husband in July. Assistance with all the paperwork etc, I really can’t thank them enough. I doubt I could have coped without them. Would recommend them.
