About
Georgia attended the University of Leeds from 2016-2019, studying a joint honours undergraduate degree in English Literature and History. After graduating, she secured her first legal work experience as a legal assistant at a national law firm in Leeds. This prompted her to apply to study the Postgraduate Diploma in Law which she undertook from 2020-2021 at the University of Law.
During this time, Georgia volunteered at the Immigration Clinic, a pro bono initiative which delivers immigration advice to members of the public. Whilst volunteering here, she assisted a solicitor with preparing and delivering asylum advice to several clients. Georgia received her training contract offer part-way through studying the PGDL but decided to take year’s break to go travelling. She joined the firm as a part-time Client Intake Assistant alongside studying the MSc LPC in Law, Business and Management in 2022 and commenced her training contract in our Bristol office in August 2023.
She has completed seats in Pensions, Banking & Finance and Employment, and is currently based in our Planning and Compulsory Purchase team.
