DIANE MASSEY Solicitor and Managing Director
I set up DSM Legal in 2003 having qualified as a solicitor in 1994. Prior to this I graduated with a 2.1 law degree from John Moores University in Liverpool (my home City). I then continued my studies at the Chester College of Law where I gained my Solicitors’ Finals qualification in 1992.
After qualification I worked at a number of law firms across Merseyside and Cheshire where I was able to gain experience in a broad range of work. During this time, I also lectured on the (then) GCSE Law course and the Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX) course. I was also on the Law Society’s Mental Health Review Tribunal panel for a number of years.
