Abigail Watson

I studied History at the University of Nottingham before moving to London for my Master's in Law, and I am working towards qualifying as a solicitor.

I work closely with all three of the team's partners. As well as keeping matters running smoothly behind the scenes, I regularly attend court and private hearings, along with most client meetings on my cases. Family proceedings can be one of the hardest times in our clients' lives, and my role helps ensure that we offer a strategic, responsive and compassionate service throughout.

Outside of work, I am passionate about sports. A keen netball player, I was previously on the England Netball pathway and have also been part of a team that placed second in the country. I continue to play to a high standard and train regularly in London.

When I am not on the netball court, much of my annual leave is spent on my partner's farm in the Scottish Highlands, especially at lambing time. It means early starts and long days, but I love the change of scene, even if my obstacles there take a slightly different shape in the Highland midges.
