Gabbs Solicitors, in honour of Jennifer Lewis, are pleased to be offering a scholarship to assist those who might otherwise struggle on their route to becoming a lawyer.
Before joining Gabbs Solicitors Jenny worked in roles centred around supporting and assisting young, underprivileged and vulnerable children, including as a Youth Participation worker for our local council and as a Consultant for HVOSS.
She joined Gabbs in April 2015 as a Legal Cashier, while undertaking her law degree. She held various other roles in the firm, including that of legal secretary, paralegal, Assistant Practice Manager and Trainee Legal Executive, all whilst working hard towards her Cilex qualification.
Jenny’s hard work and determination paid off when in September 2023 she qualified as FCILEX into our Family Law department, an area of law for which she had a real passion.
In November 2023 Jenny was invited to join the Board of Directors at Gabbs and brought with her a wealth of experience from her previous roles, but also a vibrancy and positivity that was immeasurable.
Devastatingly, Jenny passed away on 9th September 2025. In honour and memory of the person she was, and all that she contributed, Gabbs Solicitors are offering this scholarship opportunity.
