It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our much-loved colleague and friend, Lily Lammond.

Lily joined Maxwell Hodge in December 2021, working as a Paralegal in our Disputes and Litigation Team whilst continuing her studies at the University of Liverpool. Lily quickly progressed in her role and soon after became part of the Personal Injury Team and Medical Negligence Team. She therefore supported various clients through different litigation matters, giving them thorough and empathetic advice.

Lily successfully graduated from university in July 2024, achieving a first-class degree in Law with Criminology. She was determined and positive throughout and even when facing her cancer diagnosis, her positivity and bravery was an inspiration to all who knew her. Lily recently raised thousands of pounds for the Little Princess Trust, which is testament to the person she was.

Lily was due to start her solicitor apprenticeship this year and embark on the next stage of her career. Tragically, she never got the opportunity, but we know that she would have had a brilliant career as a solicitor. The legal profession has lost a bright talent but more than that, we have lost a wonderful friend. We hold her family and loved ones close in our hearts as they navigate life without her. We will never forget you, Lily.
