Alexandra Davies
Alex’s interest in family and childcare law was first sparked during her childhood when her parents careers were closely involved with individuals under Local Authority care. During that time, Alex was exposed to all aspects of the Local Authority’s involvement within a child’s life and this provided her with an unique perspective. Alex pursued these interests further through her legal studies culminating in a master’s degree at Swansea University, during which she wrote a detailed dissertation analysing how the United Nations Convention on the rights of a child were implemented within UK legislation. Alex then went onto begin a legal career obtaining employment as a paralegal within a childcare department where she then progressed to beginning her training contract, spending two of her four seats within childcare department showing experienced solicitors in all aspects of childcare law, representing both family members and children within ongoing public law and private law proceedings.
In her role, Alex provides advice and assistance to parents and family members where there is Local Authority involvement, including circumstances where there is application to have a child or children removed from their parent or guardian or where there are concerns of a non-accidental injury occurring. This includes but is not limited to the representation of individuals at Initial Child Protection Conferences (ICPC), Pre-Proceedings meetings and during Court Proceedings.
She also has good experience of dealing with Child Arrangements Orders, Special Guardianship Orders and Non-Molestation Orders/Injunctions.
Alex loves that with her job she is involved in helping her client’s family lives going through quite often upsetting and distressing times.
Alex always strives to give a personal service and is a very reliable individual. She is empathic and discreet, important qualities to have during difficult times for families. Alex prides herself on giving concise and understandable information and advice to her clients, as communication and clarity is very important when dealing with serious matters. You can always expect Alex to provide the most thorough service and she will always be willing to represent your views and wishes wherever possible.
Alex is thrilled to be qualified after many years of hard work and study and is eager to have long and successful career in law.
Outside the office, Alex loves to go on long walks with her partner and her dog, taking in the countryside. She is an amateur photographer and is always looking for opportunities to take pictures. She loves the arts and is passionate about theatre and cinema.
