Renata joined Bhatt Murphy Solicitors and Article 39 in January 2022.

She previously worked in the Actions Against the Police Team at Deighton Pierce Glynn.

Renata graduated from De Montfort University with a degree in Law and Criminal Justice in 2013. She then volunteered at the Citizens Advice Bureau where she gave advice on various issues such as housing, benefits and immigration.

She is an avid comic book movie watcher and loves all things action. She also enjoys reading and learning something new, whether that be about business, philosophy, psychology or socio-political commentary.
