Elspeth joined IDR Law as a solicitor after qualifying with Irwin Mitchell LLP. She joined Irwin Mitchell as a paralegal in their contentious probate department and quickly knew this was the area of law for me.

Elspeth qualified as a solicitor through CILEX, which allowed her to remain with the team during her training. She has over three years of contentious probate experience.

As the younger sister of an older brother, Elspeth has always wanted things to be fair. She would often spend her childhood arguing why something wasn’t fair between her and her brother. At this point, someone suggested a career in Law to Elspeth. After studying Law at A Level, she became hooked and knew this was the path for her.

When she heard about IDR Law, she was very intrigued by our work ethic and attitude. Our attitudes on how to work are not those of a traditional law firm, and this really sets us apart from competitors. After meeting Martin, Elspeth knew she wanted to join the firm and our team. In her words, “Everyone at IDR Law is wonderful and super helpful—it really is a great team!”

When she’s not in the office, her (very) lively cocker spaniel takes up most of my spare time, but when she’s not entertaining or walking Bonnie, she loves to go for a run or cycle in the countryside.
