Nina is a Solicitor within our Family Law team and is based at our Guildford office.
Nina began her legal career by reading International Law (LLB) at the University of Kent, where she also spent a year studying in Canada at Osgoode Hall Law School. During this time, she volunteered for Pro Bono Students Canada, where Nina supported clients who were taking their cases through the Canadian Family Law Courts, without other legal representation.
After she graduated, Nina worked for us at KJ Smith as a Paralegal and Trainee Solicitor. After successfully passing her Solicitors Qualifying Exams (SQE), Nina is now embarking on her career as a qualified Family Law Solicitor at KJ Smith.
Despite being near the start of her career, Nina also has a range of experience in Private Client Law which she gained whilst assisting the Private Client team at KJS during her training.
Nina has worked on cases that span the broad spectrum of Family Law, including divorce, finance, child arrangements, and injunctive matters. Nina supports clients through their difficult situations with empathy and warmth, offering practical guidance and advice. Nina is committed to resolving matters in a constructive and non-confrontational way to deal with matters in a cost-effective manner.
During her free time, Nina enjoys running, travelling and spending time with friends and family.
