A bit more about Abby Watson

I joined Peter Edwards Law in February 2019 with the aim of pursuing a career in mental health law and safeguarding vulnerable adults. Despite working in different legal areas previously, I developed a keen interest in mental health law, recognising its crucial role in protecting vulnerable individuals. Over time, I have progressed from a legal secretary to a paralegal, trainee solicitor, and now work as a Solicitor in the Court of Protection along with senior solicitor Paul Williams.

My role is to represent clients who in respect of welfare issues within the framework of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. I view each case as an opportunity to contribute to positive outcomes for individuals making critical decisions about their lives. My commitment is rooted in ensuring that the rights and well-being of my clients are protected throughout the legal process.
