Child Care

Sophie Burchett graduated from the University of Kent in June 2006 with a 2:1 LLB Law. She subsequently studied and completed her LPC at Nottingham Law School in June 2007.

Sophie began working at Duncan Lewis in July 2007 as a Child Care paralegal. In January 2008 she fulfilled her long-term wish to travel and travelled for 6 months, around South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America. Sophie returned to the Childcare Team in August 2008 and did her training contract with the firm. Sophie has since qualified as a solicitor and has stayed in the Child Care team at Duncan Lewis' Clapham Junction Branch.

Sophie's interest has always been within publicly funded legal work and her desire been to work with and assist what are the more vulnerable members of the community. Sophie was therefore attracted to Duncan Lewis primarily because of its reputation in Child Care Law and also its extensive involvement in a wide variety of other publicly funded areas.
