About Megan
Meg graduated from the University of Manchester in 2021, with a First Class LLB Law Degree and is an aspiring solicitor. Before joining the McAlister team, Meg built up a wealth of experience and knowledge in domestic violence and private children’s proceedings during her previous role as a Senior Paralegal. Meg also has experience in court advocacy and has proudly represented victims of domestic violence during proceedings in front of District- Judges to obtain Non-Molestation Orders.
Meg has joined the ‘Complex Children’ team at McAlisters and supports clients with a number of incredibly complex and sensitive issues concerning their children. For example, proceedings involving domestic violence, parental alienation, and severe allegations of harm. Meg also deals with proceedings in both the private, and also public care sphere. She is really excited to grow her career and skills within this team.
Outside of her legal work, Meg expands upon her knowledge and passions by undertaking various volunteering roles for charities. Currently, she is a caseworker in the ‘Care4Calais’ Age Dispute Team, whereby she provides vital support for un-accompanied Asylum-Seeking children across England. Meg also volunteers as an intern for the domestic violence social enterprise, ‘The Milk Exchange’, who offer specialist, trauma informed Mckenzie Friend support for domestic violence victims through the family court system. As a result of the invaluable experience she has gained in relation to this aspect of the law, Meg is incredibly driven to expand her knowledge and strives to make a difference. Namely, she has a keen interest in Post-Separation Abuse through the family courts as a form of domestic violence. Moreover, she is also heavily interested in the link between domestic violence, parental alienation, and the impacts of this on the welfare of children.
Meg believes it is vitally important to guide individuals through the most difficult periods of their lives with not only high-level legal knowledge and application, but with empathy and compassion through the inevitable complexities of the system.
