Amira Desai
Paralegal - Family Law
"I am a Paralegal in the Family Team and I assist the wider team in matters relating to divorce, finances, children and domestic abuse.”
I joined the Family Law team at Higgs LLP in September 2024 as a Paralegal, assisting clients with divorce and financial matters, as well as cases involving children and domestic violence. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate challenging times and am thrilled to be starting my training contract with the firm next year to gain further experience.
Prior to joining Higgs, I graduated from Keele University with an LLB in Law, and then completed my LLM LPC at BPP University.
During my studies, I volunteered as a CLOCK legal companion, assisting individuals seeking guidance on child arrangements, housing, and welfare/asylum.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, drawing and spending time with friends and family.
