Kia Starks
Trainee Solicitor - Corporate Tax
"I am a legal assistant within the Wealth Preservation Team at Higgs LLP. I assist with various aspects of Private Client work, with a particular focus on wills, lasting powers of attorney and trust administration.”
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.
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 relating 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 planning.
I will commence my training contract with the firm in September 2024 and look forward to developing my knowledge in this rewarding area of work in the meantime.
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 have recently completed my first half-marathon.
