Rebecca Harkess

I am a paralegal within the Court of Protection department since 2022.

I studied Law at the University of Sunderland and obtained a 2:1 in 2020. In 2022 I completed my LLM Legal Practice which included the Legal Practice Course (LPC) with merit.

During my time at University, I provided pro bono advice and assistance in relation to civil disputes, family, housing, wills, and powers of attorney work. I also gained my Dementia Friends accreditation so that I could assist those suffering with dementia in a more effective manner.

No two cases are exactly the same and for that reason, I can offer a tailored and supportive approach to your case. I will always provide honest advice and will fairly manage your expectations throughout the process. I understand that being involved in court and legal proceedings is an incredibly daunting experience, so I am here to be non-judgemental, empathetic, and to minimise your stress as much as I can.
