Blog Spotlight – Jessica Jamieson

This week we caught up with Jessica Jamieson, a partner, to find out more about life inside and outside being a solicitor.

What are your key areas of expertise?

I advise on inheritance tax, succession planning, wills, declaration of trusts and powers of attorney and I have a particular expertise in obtaining grants of probate for international estates.

I am a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP). I was delighted to be awarded the STEP student of the year award for achieving the highest mark in the taxation of trusts and estates paper – I still have the trophy even though this was some time ago now!

What is the most exciting and/or enjoyable part of your job?

The work is really varied so no two days are the same and I work with a lovely team. I enjoy being able to help people through difficult times in their lives.

How would your colleagues describe you?

I like to think I am cheerful, bubbly and very competitive. I really, really like to win quizzes (or anything really)!

What do you enjoy when not in the office?

I enjoy climbing and can often be found at the climbing wall in Tunbridge Wells. I am also a member of a book club.

Current favorite TV show?

Emily in Paris! I enjoy being able to practise my French at the same time. I also enjoy watching This is Us and Modern Family. Friends also goes without saying.

If you could invite 3 people to a dinner party, who would it be?

Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice, Ryan Reynolds and Barack Obama. I hope it would make for some interesting conversation!
