Leah McDonald

Paralegal

I am a Paralegal in the Care and Capacity team at Wollens, based in our South Devon office. I joined Wollens in May 2025 after completing my LLB in Scots and English law at Strathclyde University. I started as a legal assistant within the Care and Capacity team of the Private Client Department and have recently progressed to the role of Paralegal. As a Paralegal my work focuses on supporting the specialist lawyers in the Care and Capacity and helping individuals and families navigate their way through sensitive and complex capacity issues. Capacity work is extremely rewarding and allows me to build strong relationships with clients. I also assist in setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney, an essential legal document in helping client’s plan for the future and ensure that their wishes and feelings are clearly expressed. Outside of work I enjoy catching up with friends and family, long walks with my dog and searching for the best matcha in Torquay!
