Lydia Michael
My Professional Background
I joined Attwaters Jameson Hill in May 2023 as a Senior Paralegal in our Court of Protection (COP) 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 an assistant manager for the Halifax Plc and a mortgage broker for a couple of City firms. I also worked in the Public Guardianship Office (OPG) which is the administrative arm of the Court of Protection and more recently, I was a COP Paralegal for a large corporate city law firm for 15 years.
I have taught English as a foreign language to all ages in a small southern region of Italy for 9 months.
About me
I am first generation Greek Cypriot. I was born in North London on the borders of Highgate
I am very proud of being a Londoner and have many random pictures and artwork around my house that depict areas and places within London! I now live with my daughter in Hertfordshire.
I love strong intense coffee and enjoy tasting and eating all foods from 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 was stranded on a desert island, I would need to have my lip balm handy.
