Katherine Smith

Katherine qualified as a Solicitor in 2008 and since 2010 has specialized exclusively in Court of Protection work. In 2014, Katherine completed the STEP Diploma in Trust and Estates and is a registered Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP). She is also appointed as a Director of the JMW Trust Corp.

She has extensive experience in managing the property and financial affairs of clients who are unable to do so themselves as a result of brain injury, or for clients who lack mental capacity as a result of negligent hospital treatment, illness, or old age. The majority of Katherine’s cases involve the management of high-profile multi-million-pound compensation awards. She works closely with both clinical negligence and personal injury litigators across the country to manage interim payments until settlement. Often this will include supporting the client in to purchase a suitable property and complete large scale adaptations.
