Katie graduated from Oxford University in 2009 with a degree in French and Portuguese and then embarked on a career in law, spending two years at BPP Law School in London. She joined CooperBurnett LLP in 2015 and is part of our Corporate and Commercial team, advising clients on all aspects of company and commercial matters, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A). In 2024, she was recognised in The Legal 500 for her skills and experience.

Katie is a member of our Charity Committee and is always ready to step-up for one of our challenges herself. She was a member of the team that completed the Three Peaks Challenge for the hospice charity ellenor in 2016; was part of the team that cycled from London to Paris in 24 hours in 2019, raising money for Brain Tumour Research in memory of her cousin, Oli Hilsdon; and, more recently, walked (and ran!) 26 miles as part of the CB Charity Coastal Challenge, which saw TeamCB conquer ten marathons in a single day, raising £10,000 for Jigsaw South East, a figure that was pound-matched by our equity partners.

For five years running, Katie has helped to organise the Walk Tonbridge Marathon (part of the Walk Tonbridge Festival), alongside James Pavlou, founder of Walk Tonbridge. The 2025 Festival raised nearly £20,000 for charity, with £11,589 being donated to the Tonbridge-based food bank, Sustain.
