Congratulations to Casey Ashton on her qualification as a Solicitor

Congratulations from the Butcher & Barlow team to our newly qualified Solicitor Casey Ashton. Casey joined Butcher & Barlow in 2021 as a Paralegal before commencing on her Training Contract in March 2022. Casey will be working in our Residential Property team at our Frodsham office.

To get to know a little more about Casey, we sat down with a coffee and had a chat:

Hi Casey and congratulations on your qualification as a Solicitor:

Thank you, I am really looking forward to progressing my career with Butcher & Barlow.

What was it that made you want to become a Solicitor?

I have always taken an interest in law and enjoy watching crime documentaries. I also knew that it would be a challenge to become a Solicitor, but once completed, it would be so rewarding. I always wanted a job that helps people as it feels rewarding.

We can imagine when it comes to Residential Property, your day could be quite varied. What does a typical working day look like for you?

Usually when I come into the office the first thing that I do is check my emails and prioritise anything important. My usual day consists of drafting/reviewing contracts, dealing with enquiries, exchanges/completions, invoicing and meetings with clients.

Thanks Casey. Let’s mix it up a bit with a couple of quick fire questions.

Who do you admire in the business world?

My Grandad as he built up a business from nothing, and it is still going over 30 years later.

If you could go back in time and tell your 15 year old self something, what would it be?

Not to worry as much – although I do still worry about things now!

If money was no object, what would you do all day?

I would travel the world.

That sounds exciting. Where would you go and why?

It would probably be New York to see if it is as good as it looks in films. I also would like to try the American food.

One final question, what are your aspirations for the future?

To have a happy and successful career.

Thank you for taking the time out to chat Casey. All the best for the next stage of your career.
