Tara has an honours degree in law from the University of Nottingham and subsequently attended the College of Law to study for her solicitors finals. She qualified as a solicitor over 14 years ago with one of Northamptonshire’s largest firms specialising in Family Law. Now she and her family have made their home in one of the North Bedfordshire villages and she believes that Olney is the ideal location for a solicitors practice as it serves not only the town but the surrounding areas of Milton Keynes, Bedford and Northampton.
