Overview

Elicia accepted tenancy in October 2026 following the successful completion of a specialist family law pupillage under the supervision of Lisa Wilson. She is developing a practice across public and private children work and is also building experience in financial remedies, accepting instructions on behalf of both privately and publicly funded clients.

Elicia is developing a confident and personable approach to advocacy, with a particular focus on ensuring that her clients’ cases are clearly and effectively presented. She has experience representing vulnerable clients and is committed to providing a calm and approachable manner throughout proceedings.

Her children law practice includes a range of matters involving domestic abuse, substance misuse, mental health concerns and disputes concerning child arrangements. Through her pupillage, she gained experience of working with families facing a variety of complex and sensitive circumstances.

Prior to commencing pupillage, Elicia worked as a Legal Executive at one of the UK’s largest private family law firms. She assisted with the early stages of matrimonial and non-matrimonial finance disputes, providing a valuable foundation for the financial remedies practice she is now developing.

Elicia also has experience of working directly with vulnerable individuals through previous voluntary roles with a homeless charity across Greater Manchester. She continues to undertake pro bono work through Advocate and has represented clients who would otherwise have been unable to access legal representation.
