Wollens

Private Client

Solicitor within the Private Client department

Having decided at an early age that she wanted to pursue a career in law, Sandra attended the University of Exeter, Carleton University, Ontario and Oxford Institute of Legal Practice to complete her legal education.  More recently, she has completed the Society for Trust and Estate Practitioner’s Diploma.

Sandra's training, with a national firm,  was heavily focused on serving private clients in various different specialisms which has given her an invaluable understanding of the challenges faced by individuals, no matter what area of law you call it.

After qualifying as a solicitor in 2013, she spent a couple of years with a well-known local high street firm providing general private client services before deciding she wanted to focus specifically on estate administration. After nearly 9 years at a top 100 law firm, Sandra joined the exceptional private client team at Wollens in 2024 to continue specialising in estate administration.

Over the years, she has encountered many different and complicated situations that people find themselves in after the death of a loved one with a few surprises along the way.  Sandra understands the importance of a trusted and empathetic advisor to help navigate an emotionally challenging time.  Her clients are at the heart of what she does, which underpins the service you will receive from any representative of Wollens.  Sandra believes in a team approach, be it with fellow colleagues in other specialisms or external advisors. She has particular experience in complex and taxable estates as well as fulfilling additional requirements required by charitable administrators or beneficiaries.

Outside of work, Sandra enjoys spending time with her family which largely consists of building train tracks and reading stories.  On sunny days you will find her out exploring the beautiful countryside.  On rainy days, she enjoys a good film, particularly musicals, and quizzes.
