Senior Solicitor

Maureen studied a Social Science course and Comparative American Studies at the University of Warwick. She also completed an MSC in Race and Ethnic Relations. When she left University, she wanted to use her knowledge to help people and started to volunteer with several local voluntary groups and organisations, including Brent Community Law Centre.

She completed a CPE in Law at the University of North London and then went to Guildhall University to study the Legal Practice Course (LPC). While studying the LPC, she volunteered with Brent Citizens Advice Bureau. She worked on the advice line and took cases on for clients.

When Maureen completed the LPC, she successfully applied for a training contract with Islington Law Centre. She completed seats in Housing, Immigration and Employment with the law centre, and Family Law with a local private firm. She qualified as a solicitor in October 2002, became the Senior Solicitor in 2012 and the Compliance Officer in 2017.

Maureen worked at Brent Community Law Centre (BCLC) for 17 years. She initially took cases in Immigration and Employment and later did Housing, Welfare Benefits and Community Care. Unfortunately, BCLC closed in January 2020.

Maureen started working as a Solicitor at Youth Legal in November 2020.
