Our Team
at Blacklaw Legal
Managing Director & Solicitor
Vanessa began her career in the City of London in the global banking and markets sectors. She left the smog of London behind her to qualify as a Solicitor in 2009. While heading up the family department at a law firm in Buckinghamshire, Vanessa quickly became Partner and Director.
Wanting to spread her wings, Vanessa opened her own legal practice in Flackwell Heath in 2013, calling it Blacklaw Legal. The company has since expanded, opening a second office in Hazlemere ten years later.
Vanessa and her team continue to drive Blacklaw forwards, specialising in a range of areas to support the community.
