Isobel Beaumont

Trainee Solicitor

I joined Duncan Lewis in November 2022 as a Caseworker in the Child Care team based at the City of London office and I am training as a solicitor via the SQE route. I assist Alia Lewis, Director, and I am part of a specialist Autism and ADHD team within the Child Care department. I previously worked at Creighton and Partners as a Child Care and Family Paralegal where alongside supporting a director, I represented clients at PLO meetings and in an adoption matter. My experience is predominantly in Care Proceedings and Rule 16.4 matters, assisting with representing children through their Children's Guardian or representing parents who are respondents in applications brought by a Local Authority. During my postgraduate degree, I received a commendation for a research project on the law around Section 20 of the Children Act 1989. I am a member of Young Legal Aid Lawyers and Justice.
