Title Research is pleased to feature two guest authors for their latest blog post. Alexa Payet, Partner, and Jasmine Ivory, Senior Associate at Michelmores LLP, present a thought-provoking discussion on the sensitive topic of assisted suicide. They thoroughly examine the key legal concepts surrounding assisted suicide, as they become increasingly significant within a society grappling with the complexities surrounding end-of-life choices.
Alexa Payet represented the successful Claimants in Ninian and Morris and has represented many other families in similar circumstances. She is described as “the most experienced solicitor in the country in this area of the law” (John Critchley, Head of Chambers, Field Court Chambers). She was recently named in The Lawyer Hot 100 2025, which recognises the most innovative and creative lawyers in the industry.
Jasmine Ivory is a specialist litigator with a focus on inheritance and estate-based private wealth disputes. She is described as “an absolute star with fantastic attention to detail and a great rapport with clients” and works alongside Cancer Research UK as part of the team who are appointed as the preferred legal supplier for contentious probate matters.
