Lydia Michael
My Professional Background
I joined Attwaters Jameson Hill in May 2023 as a Senior Paralegal in our Court of Protection team.
I support the Financial Deputies and assist our clients who lack capacity to manage their own financial affairs.
I enjoy making long and lasting relationships with our clients, gaining their trust and support.
My previous work experience includes roles as an assistant manager for the Halifax Plc and as a mortgage broker for a couple of City firms. I also worked at the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG), which is the administrative arm of the Court of Protection, and spent 15 years as a Court of Protection Paralegal at a large corporate city law firm.
I also taught English as a foreign language for nine months to people of all ages in a small region in southern Italy.
About me
I am first generation Greek Cypriot and was born in North London on the borders of Highgate.
I am very proud of being a Londoner and have many random pictures and artworks around my house that depict areas and places in London! I now live with my daughter in Hertfordshire.
I love strong intense coffee and enjoy tasting and eating foods from all around the world. I adore Italian cuisine.
In my spare time, I enjoy antique browsing around the outskirts of London. I am intrigued by the history behind the artifacts. I enjoy my garden in the spring and summer months and at the very least I have managed to plant some nice things there.
My childhood dream job was to own a sweetshop by the sea.
If I were stranded on a desert island, I would need to have my lip balm handy.
