Jess joined Harrison Drury in June 2021 following the completion of her undergraduate LLB Law degree at the University of Law, where she achieved a first-class honours. She worked as a Paralegal in the firms Commercial Property Team, whilst studying the Legal Practice Course at the University of Law, where she achieved a commendation. Jess later completed her training with Harrison Drury, qualifying into our Corporate Team in September 2025.

Outside of work you can find me…

Outside of her professional life, Jess is in the process of completing the Wainwrights, which involves walking the 214 peaks in the Lake District National Park, documented in Alfred Wainwright’s guidebooks.

Jess also enjoys spending time at the yard with her fell pony, Exby, who she has owned for over 10 years. After rehabilitating Exby from a serious leg injury throughout 2024/2025, she hopes that they may be able to complete in British Dressage events in the future.

I cannot recommend Harrison & Drury highly enough! Their guidance, professionalism & attention to detail throughout the sale of my business were outstanding.

They explained every step clearly, were always available to answer questions and made what could have been a very stressful process, feel smooth and well managed. I felt completely supported from start to finish…thank you Jack & Jess, I am incredibly grateful!
