Senior Women

Profile:

I was promoted to Partner in 2022 and I specialise in tax and structuring in the real estate space. My parents came to the UK in the 1970s from Sri Lanka. I am the first lawyer in my family – and one of the first to go to university. I originally qualified in 2009 as a real estate lawyer at a firm called Charles Russell (now Charles Russell Speechlys) but changed specialism to corporate tax when I was three years qualified. I am also a Chartered Tax Adviser.

I believe that diversity in law and having a diverse range of role models is vitally important. When I first qualified, there were only a handful of female partners at my firm and not many that looked like me. I believe it’s important to have role models that you can identify with. As a senior woman in law, I can offer my experience, guidance and support.
