After obtaining her honours degree in law from Durham University Jane trained in Derby during which time she had the opportunity to deal with a variety of different agricultural property matters. She qualified in 1981 and thereafter worked in the legal department of The National Trust in London where she dealt with property work on some of the Trust's largest land holdings, including Kinder Scout and Cadair Idris.

On returning to Derbyshire she spent seven years as an assistant solicitor with the Derbyshire Building Society in Duffield, followed by six years running the Ashbourne branch office of a Derby based firm dealing again with property related matters.

Jane has spent the last two years based in Matlock dealing mainly with yet more property related work but also including some wills and probate.

She brings to the team a wealth of experience particularly in rural property matters. Jane now acts as a conveyancing consultant with the firm.

Jane is a member of the Agricultural Law Association and the Derby Law Society.
