Millie Howells

I am a Trainee Solicitor in the Court of Protection Department. I assist with proceedings under Sections 21A and 16 of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. My responsibilities include drafting court documents, preparing legal aid applications, liaising with the Local Authority and family members, and attending court hearings.

I ensure I approach cases in a caring and understanding manner. I am passionate in my work and ensure I offer a high level of care and service to individuals and families who need it most. I liaise with clients and take instruction from them on any issues that arise during their case. I approach client matters with an empathetic and understanding nature, ensuring that I listen, take time to advise about the process, and work hard to achieve the best possible outcome as I understand how daunting proceedings can be.

I attended Northumbria University graduating with an MLAW degree, an integrated Masters in combination with the LPC and I have achieved a high first-class mark across all my studies.
