Background

Shelly started off her career in Conveyancing as a Legal Secretary in 2004. She quickly progressed to be a Conveyancing Assistant where it became clear that she was capable of fully understanding the conveyancing process and able to take on responsibility for more complicated legal tasks. Shelly therefore became a trainee Residential Conveyancing Executive in 2014 and started opening files of her own. Shortly afterwards, she decided to study to become a qualified Licensed Conveyancer. Kelly spent approximately four years undertaking study via distance learning, in her own time. She finally qualified as a Licence Conveyancer in April 2022 and has been working in Residential Conveyancing ever since.
