Leah Woodlee

Chartered Legal Executive

I am a Chartered Legal Executive specialising in the Wills, Trusts and Probate team. I am based in our Colchester office, and am available for a free 15 minute chat over the phone on 01206 217609. 

I joined Birkett Long in August 2014 as a Float Legal Secretary.  In September 2016, I moved into a Legal Support Assistant role within the Court of Protection and Inheritance Disputes team.

In December 2018, I joined the Wills, Trust and Probate team. I am qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive.

I manage a mixed case load of wills, Lasting Powers of Attorneys, Trusts, Probate, Tax planning and Care related matters.

I love the variety of work within my role, as it means that every day is different. In a lot of cases my clients have gone through a difficult period of time within their life, whether it be losing a loved one, a family member losing capacity or needing assistance with care related matters. I get a real sense of satisfaction that I am helping my clients in their time of need and try to take the burden off my clients where I can. I enjoy meeting with people and helping them solve complicated personal and financial problems.

I am a Dementia Friend and I spend most of my free time with my family and friends.
