Trainee Solicitor
Home / People / Fiona Sturges

I am a Trainee Solicitor at Thompson Smith and Puxon, having joined the firm in 2023.

After completing my law degree at the University of Essex, I took some time away from law to travel and then worked for four years at a property consultancy in account management, specialising in business rates.

I am currently gaining experience across a range of practice areas, including Wills and Estates, Dispute Resolution (with a particular focus on contentious probate) and Employment. I have enjoyed training in both contentious and non-contentious areas and am set to qualify in March 2026.

Alongside my Training Contract, I am completing my Legal Practice Course part-time; am a member of the Social Committee, and have helped spearhead the TSP Trainees Support Programme, a trainee-led charity initiative that aims to support local charities and the community while also improving the soft skills of the trainees.

Outside of work, my time is taken up by my young family and dog, but I wind down by reading and have set a personal goal of finishing 50 books by the end of the year!
