Veane Wilkinson

I am a paralegal in the Family team. I understand that going through Family proceedings can be a difficult and this often seems daunting for people. I make a conscious effort to cut out the legal jargon and thoroughly explain the process. I take the approach that no question is a silly question when trying to navigate proceedings, and I am always happy to answer any questions that you may have to try and help you understand better what is happening.

I understand that opening up about personal family matters can be difficult and I am here to provide a safe space for you to be able to open up about this comfortably with no judgement.

I have also previously worked with Citizens Advice, where I gained valuable experience and gained knowledge on Reasonable Adjustments that may be needed to make Courts accessible for all. I will always work my hardest to ensure that the Family Court is accessible for all my clients.

I studied MLaw at Northumbria University and graduated with a 2:1 in 2024, obtaining a qualifying law degree and an exemption from the Legal Practice Course.

During my time at University, I was involved in Northumbria’s Award Winning Student Law Office.
