Adilaha Ahmed
Legal Assistant - Court of Protection
"I am a legal assistant within the court of protection team at Higgs LLP. I assist individuals with the management of their property and financial affairs.”
I joined the court of protection team at Higgs LLP in July 2024, following on from completing the vacation scheme in March 2024. I am due to commence my training contract in September 2025.
I graduated from the University of Law with a First-Class Honours Degree in LLB Law with Criminology before further continuing my studies with an LPC LLM.
I support the team with the management of an individual’s financial and property affairs. Our clients range from those who have received personal injury or clinical negligence claims, to panel deputy appointments.
I enjoy working within team as it allows me to build a rapport with clients and see the impact of my work in a positive light.
