Melissa qualified as a solicitor in March 2025 and joined the property team at Berry & Lamberts the same month. Her main focus is residential property, although she also has experience with commercial property having worked as a commercial assistant prior to her training contract.

She graduated from the University of Gloucestershire with an honours degree in Law before obtaining her master’s in professional Legal Practice at the University of Law in London.

Expertise

Melissa handles a variety of residential transactions, including freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, re-mortgages and transfers of equity. During her training contract she found herself working on files that had some complex title issues, which she particularly enjoyed for the problem-solving challenges they presented.

What clients say:

"We recently engaged Melissa to help us redraw a boundary with our neighbour, and it was undoubtedly the easiest and most enjoyable legal process I have been involved in. Melissa was always quick to respond, professional at all times, helped us navigate some of the more nuanced areas of the discussion and always made time for us when we needed her. I couldn't recommend her (and the firm in general) more highly."

Additional Bio

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends – including my cockapoo, Pepper! I also do my best to keep up with the Formula 1 season, supporting Team Papaya.
