Judie Halimah qualifies as a solicitor at SO Legal

Judie joined SO Legal in 2023 as a paralegal and subsequently progressed to become a trainee solicitor, gaining experience across the firm’s commercial departments. She has now completed her training and qualified through the Legal Practice Course (LPC) route.

Based at our Eastbourne office, Judie will continue her career with us as part of our growing real estate finance team.

In her new role, Judie will advise on a wide range of real estate finance matters, including transactions involving residential and commercial property, buy-to-let portfolios, and development projects. Her experience includes property purchases and transfers, bridging finance, share purchases and high-value transactions, often working to tight deadlines and complex lender requirements.

Dylan Leet, partner and head of real estate finance, said:

“Judie has made excellent progress since joining us and thoroughly deserves this next step in her career. She has developed valuable experience across a wide range of transactions and has become an important part of our real estate finance team. I’m delighted that she will be continuing her career with us as a qualified solicitor.”
