Trish is a Director and Solicitor in our Trusts & Estates team, and also our Head of Court of Protection.  She is based at our Dudley office and joined Talbots in 2020.

Trish is a member of the Office of the Public Guardian’s Panel Deputies which means she gets appointed to deal with someone’s finances by the Court of Protection when there is no one suitable to be appointed, or where an Attorney or Lay Deputy has mismanaged a person’s funds and they get removed.

She qualified as a solicitor in 2009 having previously become a member of the ILEX in 2005, and is a Full Accredited member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers (formerly Solicitors for the Elderly). Starting off her career in law as a Legal Secretary, Trish studied whilst in full time work to qualify first as a Legal Executive then as a Solicitor.

In 2025, Trish successfully applied to become a Full Member (TEP) of the Society of Trusts and Estates Practitioners (STEP).
