Solicitor at Devonalds

Ffion Durston

Solicitor

I began my Training Contract with Devonalds in August 2022 and qualified as a Solicitor in August 2024. Prior to this, I gained extensive experience by working as a Paralegal for a different firm. I studied at Cardiff University and graduated in 2020 with a First Class Law Degree and I graduated again in 2021 with a Distinction in the Legal Practice Course. Alongside my studies, I provided help and support to people with learning difficulties in the legal process which has helped me become a very approachable legal professional. In my role, I take a dedicated approach to developing a specialist knowledge in the department areas I am training in. I am looking forward to continuing to gain valuable experience as a Trainee Solicitor which in turn will help me achieve my long term goal of qualifying as a Solicitor. I have lived in the area of Tonypandy all of my life and I am very proud to be a part of a law firm that is committed to providing legal services to the local people of South Wales. Outside of work, I am a keen baker who enjoys learning new recipes and making my creations look picture perfect. I regularly walk my Cavachon dog Charlie on the local paths near where I live. On the weekends, I can be found in the theatre, with family and friends or with a book in my hands!

Replacement Will

5

Devonalds were easy to deal with and appointments were easy to make.
Solicitor was very knowledgeable and saved me £150 by charging my Will donation to Cancer UK from Cancer Wales.
Would recommend this company.
