What I do
I qualified as a solicitor in October 2024 and joined the Commercial Property department at Smith Partnership. Based at our Derby office, I deal with a range of property matters in various commercial sectors.
I joined Smith Partnership in January 2019, beginning my career in the Residential Property department. In September 2021, I moved over to Commercial Property as a Paralegal. During my time as a Paralegal, I assisted on a varied caseload of residential and commercial property matters and quickly realised my passion for property.
Embarking on my Training Contract in November 2022, I undertook my second training seat in Commercial Property, working closely with fee earners in the department and quickly establishing a cohesive working relationship.
My Training Contract concluded with an extended seat in Dispute Resolution, where I assisted in several property disputes including; dilapidations, easement and boundary disputes, and lease renewals.
What I bring to the team
My team would say I am friendly, approachable, and super organised.
Key interests
I am passionate about all types of music, particularly Rock and I enjoy going to watch my favourite bands perform. I am also a keen traveller and love exploring new cultures.
Testimonials
I used Bally and Beth at Smith Partnership to deal with a former client of mine who was trying to false sue me for a job I had done. Their tremendous work paid off dividends and I would highly recommend them both for their work on my behalf from start to finish. Very happy.

I had several questions regarding deed restrictions and a potential course of action. They were very professional and efficient with reasonable cost.

Smith Partnership recently handled my house sale and I am very pleased with my experience. It all went smoothly, I felt I was kept up to date throughout and my queries were responded to quickly.

A huge thank you to Smith Partnership especially Beth who kept me well informed through the whole process. To sell a house remotely, during
a pandemic and still manage to complete within a reasonable time frame is some achievement. I have bought and sold 14 properties over my lifetime and can honestly say this was by far the easiest there has been. I would recommend Smith Partnership 100% and definitely use them again. Thank you Beth for excellent service. Keep up the good work.

I have used the services of Smith Partnership many times. I have always found them to be extremely professional, and reasonably priced too. I have had to use Smith Partnership again recently to assist me with equity transfer. The paralegal that I dealt with was Beth... absolutely fantastic service. Everything resolved, and on time too. Thank you Beth.

Helpful and supportive - Once we got going with everything the team were really helpful and kept us updated every step. Laura and Beth were prompt with paperwork and supported any questions we had. It was a very stressful purchase for one reason or another, but these guys did everything they could to make it as smooth as possible.
