Chelsea joins our Family & Divorce team as a pupil under the supervision of Ryan Morgan and Bethany Scarsbrook.

Prior to starting pupillage, Chelsea studied law at the University of Bristol and went straight on to study the BTC at BPP. Whilst studying the BTC, Chelsea undertook pro bono work at the Legal Advice Clinic (specialising in family law), the Litigant in Person Tribunal Service (for employment claims) and the StreetLaw Project which explained housing law/rights to schools and colleges. Subsequently, she worked as a legal advisor for Legal Expenses Insurance policyholders. In this role she advised clients as to their legal rights and responsibilities and how they may resolve their dispute without progressing to legal proceedings. Chelsea became Technical Lead of the team at the end of 2022.
