Kia Starks

I joined Higgs LLP in October 2023 and qualified as a solicitor in the Family team following the completion of my training contract. I graduated with a First-Class Honours Degree in LLB Law from Nottingham Law School and went on to complete my LPC and Legal Masters (LLM), both with distinction.

During my training contract, I completed seats in Corporate Tax and Wealth Preservation. This experience provided me with valuable insight into tax-efficient structuring and the management of complex financial arrangements, which complements my work in family law, particularly in matters involving finances following relationship breakdown.

Prior to joining the firm, I worked within a busy Court of Protection team, assisting with deputyship matters and gaining experience in capacity-related issues and handling sensitive, complex situations.

I now work as part of the Family team assisting clients across a range of family law matters, including issues arising from separation and matters relating to children.

Outside of work, I am always seeking my next adventure: I have always loved travel and experiencing different places and cultures. I enjoy keeping active and getting outdoors. I recently hiked the Samaria Gorge in Crete, climbed Mount Batur in Bali, Dragon Crest Mountain in Thailand, and hiked the Saklikent Gorge in Turkey!
