Michele Ashton, GDL (Solicitor)

Michele joined the business in Summer 2018 as Progression’s Data Protection Representative. Michele can advise clients on both their own personal data privacy rights as well as any compliance obligations they may have as Data Controllers under the GDPR. Michele holds a graduate diploma in law and qualified as a solicitor locally with her knowledge primarily based in matrimonial law. In 2010 she changed direction, working in the defence sector and specialising in compliance with US Export Control Regulations. This included managing Export Control Compliance Investigations, Assurance Audits and Risk.

Michele ensures our compliance with the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) whilst supporting the family department alongside Lisa Bell (Director) in offering matrimonial advice to clients in divorce.

Michele is available for appointments across our offices and particularly over the phone where clients may not be able to attend the office due to work or family commitments. Michele offers a free 30 minute no-obligation initial consultation.
