Major career milestone for childcare solicitor

A childcare solicitor at Timms Solicitors has achieved a major career milestone after achieving a key accreditation.

Leonnie Watson recently passed the Law Society Children’s Law Accreditation, which formally recognises her expert knowledge, skill, experience and practice in family court matters.

Leonnie obtained her undergraduate Law degree, with honours, at the University of Derby in 2018.

In 2020, she went on to complete the Legal Practice Course and master’s degree on a part-time basis from Nottingham Trent University while working at Timms and supporting the care team at the Burton and Derby offices.

Managing partner Fiona Moffat said: “We are very excited to celebrate Leonnie’s achievement, and we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate her on her recent exam results.

“Leonnie is always fully committed and her work in this field is crucial in supporting families in this area.

“She has shown real determination in her studies, and it is wonderful to see the next generation of talent coming up through the business.”
