Aaliyah Simms

I am currently a Legal Assistant within the Wealth Preservation Team at Higgs LLP.  I commence my training contract in September 2026, which I am incredibly excited for!

Before starting at Higgs, I spent two years working for the Solicitors Regulation Authority; initially within Thematic Engagement and later within the Professional Indemnity Insurance Team dealing with the wonderful intersection of insurance and regulation.

As a current member of the Birmingham Junior Lawyers Division as a Local Liaison, I can be found at various events aiming to increase participation within law at all levels.

I am a consultant member of the Anti-Racism Council at Student Minds and a grateful alumna of the University of Birmingham and the University of Law.

I speak publicly about social mobility within the profession, specifically adopted and care-experienced individuals and intersectionality.

I've recently finished my part-time LPC LLM as of July 2026. 

Outside of work, I am working on campaigning for increased adoptee rights to their records – so watch this space!
