Bethany is a Solicitor in our Commercial Litigation and Disputes Team.

Bethany graduated from Newcastle University in 2014 with a First in English Literature. Following graduation she worked for a charity in Senegal which involved working alongside the local prison. This experience of a foreign justice system, together with a desire to utilise the skills acquired during her undergraduate degree, led her to study the GDL at Northumbria University. Bethany graduated with a Distinction soon after undertaking the vacation scheme with Hay & Kilner.

Bethany wanted to build a career based in the North East and was impressed by Hay & Kilner’s reputation as a regional leader. Prior to starting her training contract Bethany was part of the Residential Property Department as a paralegal for a year.

Outside of work Bethany enjoys going to the theatre, trips to the beach and pottering around the allotment she shares with her parents.
