Profile

Catherine graduated with a history degree from the University of Leeds and then went on to complete the Graduate Diploma in Law at the University of Sussex, passing with distinction.

Whilst studying, Catherine proactively volunteered with the Free Representation Unit, offering legal advice and representing individuals in tribunals who could not afford legal representation. She also assisted with the University of Sussex Innocence Project, reviewing cases of those who claimed they have been wrongly convicted. During her training contract she assisted with the Citizens Advice Bureau and was part of a team who organised a quiz night in aid of the charity Shelter.

Catherine / Laura and Matt are always extremely helpful. We value their support at the Bank.

Client

Catherine and TS&P did everything I expected them to do. They did what they said they would, and did it effectively, professionally, and efficiently.

Client

Catherine is a pleasure to work with, she is diligent yet commercial and is very personable. TS&Ps reporting style is concise, straight forward, and go into exactly the right level of detail needed for any response. TS&P work well as a team, if one member is away or unavailable to discuss a facility they are assisting with, there is always another solicitor on hand who is up to date with proceedings. Matthew and Catherine are prime examples of this strong work ethic.
