Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I qualified as a solicitor in March 2025 and joined the property team at Berry & Lamberts the same month. My main focus is residential property, although I also have experience with commercial property having worked as a commercial assistant prior to my training contract. I graduated from the University of Gloucestershire with an honours degree in Law before obtaining my Master’s in Professional Legal Practice at the University of Law in London. I handle a variety of residential transactions, including freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, re-mortgages and transfers of equity. During my training contract I found myself working on files that had some complex title issues, which I particularly enjoyed for the problem-solving challenges they presented.

Super professional and speedy

Melissa was great to deal with from minute one. Clear advice and extremely prompt on responses for any query no matter how big or small. She was great with attention to detail in any small print within the opposing solicitor's terms and contracts, and left no stone unturned. Would thoroughly recommend if you're looking for someone to assist with conveyancing when buying a home. Five star!

We recently completed a property purchase under somewhat unusual circumstances, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional support we received throughout the process. From start to finish, everything was handled seamlessly, which made what could have been a very stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. A special thank you goes to Melissa Russell, whose clear communication, professionalism, and supportive guidance truly stood out. She kept us informed every step of the way, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and always made us feel confident in the process. Melissa has genuinely been the best solicitor we’ve had the pleasure of working with, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and the team to anyone looking for reliable and outstanding legal support in property transactions.

We recently engaged Melissa Russell from Berry & Lamberts to help us redraw a boundary with our neighbour, and it was undoubtedly the easiest and most enjoyable legal process I have been involved in. Melissa was always quick to respond, professional at all times, helped us navigate some of the more nuanced areas of the discussion and always made time for us when we needed her. I couldn't recommend her (and the firm in general) more highly.
