Faye Whitfield-Sykes

I am a Trainee Solicitor at David Gray Solicitors currently working within the Mental Health department. I am dedicated to providing clients with compassionate and supportive legal advice, especially during times when they may feel vulnerable or overwhelmed by the legal process. My approach is grounded in empathy, clarity, and a genuine commitment to helping people.

I joined David Gray Solicitors in November 2024 as a Private Client Paralegal, advising clients on the importance of effective estate planning. My work included the preparation of Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, helping individuals plan for their future and manage their affairs with confidence. I began my training contract with the firm in April 2026.

I graduated from Northumbria University in 2024 with a First‑Class Law Degree and was placed on the Honour Roll in recognition of my academic achievement. In January 2024, I successfully completed the first stage of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) and intend to sit the second stage in the near future.

I am committed to delivering a high standard of client care and look forward to developing my expertise further as I progress through my training.
