Shona Smalley

I joined Jackson West in 2012. I have worked in Legal Aid costs for over 25 years, starting my career at Bate Edmonds Snape in Coventry. I have significant experience in Family and Criminal Legal Aid, including complex legally aided cases, high cost case plans, Court of Protection and exceptional funding for inquests. I have prepared claims in respect of some very high profile cases.

I regularly and successfully challenge Legal Aid decisions and have a keen eye for detail. I thrive on the technical challenges of drafting Legally Aided bills and gain professional satisfaction in seeing them through to completion.

I take great pride in knowing that through my experience and dedication, I can obtain a fantastic result for not only the firm but also for the client. I enjoy the challenges that this job role brings on a day to day basis as I feel that this motivates me to achieve the best possible results that I can.

In my spare time I am a keen Wasps rugby supporter, enjoy baking and am a self-proclaimed connoisseur of gin.

I joined Jackson West In May 2016 but since leaving school I have worked as a Word Processor Operator with the NFU Mutual, a Legal Secretary in the Family/Matrimonial and Wills/Probate Department. My last employment was with Warwickshire County Council as a Team Administrator for the Older People Team where I worked for 17 years.

Away from the office I enjoy reading, cake baking and cross stitch. I am a member of St Nicholas Church Bell Ringers. I practice ring on a Thursday and ring for the Church Service on a Sunday morning. I also ring for weddings, funerals and any special events that happen throughout the year. The last time being in Honour of HRH The Queen 90th Birthday. When I am not being a taxi driver for my daughter I also like to play Badminton. I am delighted to become a Team Member of Jackson West.

Katie Guest

I joined Jackson West in 2011 having previously worked in retail. My role within the firm is to assist lawyers in the Care Department by ensuring that their files are up to date. I am complimented on my attention to detail and play a key role in the team. My work allows our lawyers to work more efficiently. I also assist with many day to day tasks, including typing. I provide invaluable support for the fee earners and ensure that barristers and Court appointed experts have an up to date and precise bundle of Court papers.

Outside of the office I enjoy socialising with friends and family. I also like to relax by listening to music, watching films and reading books.

Kim Davies

I have worked in the legal profession for almost 14 years now. During this time I have experienced working in various areas of law, however family law is where my passion lies. I joined Jackson West in February 2016 given they are a firm that concentrates solely on family law and I immediately knew that my knowledge and skills would be put to best use here. I work closely in the Matrimonial team and believe that I have the knowledge and understanding to support our clients during whatever difficult time they are going through.

Away from the office I love spending time with my partner, our three children and our three dogs. I certainly have my hands full!
