We’re delighted to share that Chloe Loft has qualified as a solicitor with SO Legal — completing her qualification while on maternity leave, an outstanding personal and professional achievement.

Chloe joined the firm in 2023 and has quickly established herself as a valued member of the team, recognised for her professionalism, attention to detail, and client-focused approach. Based in our Eastbourne office, she advises on all aspects of residential property conveyancing, bringing the same determination and composure that saw her qualify while balancing work, study, and family life.

Before joining SO Legal, Chloe graduated from the University of Brighton with a first-class law degree in 2020 and trained with a leading Legal 500 firm. Since joining us, she has built a reputation for her calm approach, client focus, and in-depth knowledge of residential property law, covering freehold and leasehold transactions, remortgages, and transfers of equity.

Dominic Mercer, head of residential property, said:

“Chloe’s qualification is a fantastic achievement and well deserved. Qualifying as a solicitor while on maternity leave takes focus, strength, and commitment. She’s already a trusted and respected member of the team, and we’re thrilled to see her qualify and continue her career with us.”

Simon Moss, managing director, added:

“Chloe embodies the kind of talent and determination we’re proud to support at SO Legal. Her journey is an impressive example of what can be achieved with hard work and the right environment. We’re delighted to have her as part of the Eastbourne team and look forward to seeing her career continue to flourish.”
