She worked in family law for two years as a paralegal before completing her training contract at Moore Blatch where she also gained experience in employment, tax, trusts and professional negligence.

Amy, who qualified as a family law solicitor in 2013, has knowledge and experience of dealing with cohabitation and separation, divorce, financial matters and pre-nuptial agreements.

She is also a member of the Young Resolution committee.
