Chandelle McFarlane

I am a trainee solicitor in the commercial litigation team. Prior to joining Higgs LLP, I worked as a divorce admin officer at HM Courts & Tribunals Service. 

I graduated from the University of Law with a First-Class Honours degree in law and a Distinction in the LPC MSc in Law, Business and Management. 

During my studies, I undertook work experience with the CPS, volunteered with the Midlands Employment Rights Advice Line and had the opportunity to shadow a judge at the civil courts.

I joined Higgs as a trainee solicitor in September 2024 after a successful spring vacation scheme through the Birmingham Law Society's Diversity Access Scheme.

I am a mentor with the Tyro Lawyer and Birmingham Black Lawyers, providing support and guidance to students aged 16 and above with an interest in working in law.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing in a local netball league and spending time with friends and family.
