Overview
Chloe joined the firm in August 2021 after graduating from the University of Birmingham with a first-class degree in law (with honours).
She has assisted lead fee earners in a range of areas across the firm. Most notably, she helped to successfully prevent National Highways from infilling a 140-year-old bridge in East Sussex, and assisted in the landmark case ‘Finch v Surrey County Council’, where the Supreme Court found the grant of planning permission for oil production was unlawful.
After working as a paralegal at the firm for 3 years, Chloe stepped into the role of Outreach and Development Coordinator in 2025 which she does alongside her role as Practice Manager.
