Kia Starks

I joined the private client team at Higgs LLP in October 2023. I commenced my legal career in July 2022 after graduating with a First-Class Honours Degree in LLB Law from Nottingham Law School and completing my LPC and Legal Masters (LLM), both with a distinction.

I commenced my training contract with the firm in September 2024 and have completed seats in Corporate Tax and Family Law, which have been formative in my professional development.

Prior to joining Higgs, I worked in a fast-paced Court of Protection team assisting in deputyship matters. This has provided me with an excellent understanding of capacity-related issues and provided the foundation for further Private Client work.

I work closely with fee-earners in a range of matters, assisting in various elements of estate and tax planning.

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 and have also climbed Mount Batur in Bali, Dragon Crest Mountain in Thailand, and hiked the Saklikent Gorge in Turkey!
