Carmel Thornton

I am an experienced legal professional with a demonstrated history of working in the Child Law industry. I specialise in Public Child Law proceedings and the majority of my work is in relation to supporting parents through this process by providing them with quality legal advice. This can be a very stressful time for any parent and I aim to make the process as smooth as possible and to provide all information in order for the parents to be assured that I am doing the best possible job I can to obtain their desired outcome. I support both Anna Pugh and Matthew Montanaro with their caseloads as well as holding my own caseload of pre-proceedings and fixed fee advice cases.

I graduated from Nottingham Trent University with an LLB Honours degree in Law and have since graduated from the school of Chartered Legal Executives.

Outside of work I enjoy travelling, particularly to Canada where my family live, and engaging in some mixed martial arts.
