Andrea Louise Fairweather

After graduating from Liverpool John Moores University with an LLB (Hons) degree in Law, I completed the Legal Practice Course at the University of Central Lancashire and joined Birchall Blackburn Law in 2006.

I worked within the clinical negligence team for some time before moving on to complete my training contract. Since qualifying as a solicitor in 2010, I have worked in the residential conveyancing department. With over fourteen years of experience in residential conveyancing, I have an excellent understanding of property law and a wealth of knowledge and expertise in a wide range of property matters.

I was promoted to Partner and became head of our conveyancing training and quality team, which enabled me to share my knowledge and experience with others. Our team delivers training and guidance across the whole conveyancing department to ensure a complete understanding of conveyancing laws and procedures and maximise the service we can offer our clients. We have also developed our internal conveyancing academy, providing a learning and development pathway. It enables our conveyancing employees to record their knowledge and skills development, taking them from a position of ‘no prior knowledge’ to fully experienced conveyancing fee earners.

What aspect of your job do you find most rewarding?
I take pride in helping our conveyancing teams progress and expand their knowledge and experiences, making them excellent conveyancers. This ultimately results in an even better service for our clients.

Where is your favourite place to holiday in, England or Wales?

What do you like to do in your spare time?
I spend much time driving my son around to extracurricular activities – mainly football! I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends and exploring and discovering new places.
