Jessica Bonfield

Jessica is currently based at our Gillingham branch, working within our Dispute Resolution Department.

What Jessica says:

I joined Martin Tolhurst in February 2023 as a Legal Secretary in the Residential Conveyancing Department, supporting our fantastic Partner Tom Bexhell with sale and purchase matters. I began my training contract with the firm in December 2023 and qualified December 2025.

I now work within the firm’s Dispute Resolution department dealing with general litigation matters, with a particular focus on property litigation. I particularly enjoy dealing with right of way disputes, issues with breach of covenant and boundary disputes.

I achieved an LLB Law Degree with a Russell Group University (The University of Southampton) and went on to complete the LPC LLM with The University of Law.

If I were not a solicitor I would be…

A yoga teacher

If I were stranded on a desert island and could take three pieces of music or books with me, they would be…

For music, any of The 1975’s albums. For something to read I would go with anything by Margaret Atwood.
