At Vyman Solicitors, we celebrate the achievements of our team members who embody the core values of our firm. One such success story is Minoli Vehella, a newly qualified solicitor in our Family Law Department. Minoli’s journey from trainee to solicitor showcases her dedication, resilience, and passion for making a real difference in people’s lives.

“I wanted to pursue an area of law that truly made a difference in people’s lives, and Family Law does exactly that,” shares Minoli. Her commitment to delivering tailored, compassionate support has been at the heart of her work since joining Vyman in 2021.

Finding Her Path in Family Law

Minoli’s legal journey began at Cardiff University, where she graduated in 2019. She then completed her LPC at BPP University during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. After gaining initial experience in conveyancing, Minoli realised she wanted to work in an area of law that aligned more closely with her aspirations.

“I enjoyed conveyancing, but something felt missing,” she reflects. “Family Law ticks all the boxes—it’s dynamic, challenging and ultimately about helping people when they need it most.“

Joining Vyman Solicitors through the acquisition of The Sethi Partnership Solicitors, Minoli quickly embraced the complexities of Family Law.

Challenges in Minoli Vehella’s Family Law Journey

Stepping into the Family Department at Vyman, Minoli found herself juggling heavily contested proceedings, often managing cases involving sensitive issues such as child welfare and financial disputes.

“Being the only Trainee in the Family Department at one point taught me how to handle high-pressure situations and manage my time effectively,” says Minoli.

She credits these experiences with helping her build essential skills such as prioritisation, clear communication, and adaptability. “I learned to communicate effectively with my supervisors to ensure deadlines were met and that I could balance my workload without feeling overwhelmed.“

Support and Mentorship at Vyman

Minoli’s growth was nurtured by the mentorship of senior colleagues like Shreeti Rajdev, whose extensive experience in Family Law provided invaluable guidance.

“Shreeti has a wealth of knowledge, and working under her wing has been an invaluable experience,” Minoli shares.

She also gained valuable insights by assisting Zharna Sutaria, Head of the Family Law Department, and other team members. This exposure allowed her to learn various approaches to legal practice and develop her own style.

A Word from Zharna

“Minoli has shown incredible commitment and adaptability during her time at Vyman. Her ability to handle sensitive cases with professionalism and empathy is remarkable. She is a vital part of our Family Law team, and I’m excited to see her continue to grow and succeed,” says Zharna Sutaria, Head of Family Law.

Defining Moments and Achievements

Minoli has worked on numerous cases that have shaped her understanding of Family Law. From managing complex financial disputes to attending hearings, she has consistently demonstrated her ability to provide practical, client-focused solutions.

“I’ve loved attending court hearings and seeing all the hard work we’ve put into a case come to fruition. Watching a client’s relief when their case is resolved is incredibly rewarding,“ she shares.

Her ability to tailor her advice to each client’s unique needs has been a standout quality. “No two cases are the same in Family Law. Learning to adapt my advice and approach has been a valuable skill,“ she adds.

Advice for Aspiring Solicitors

Minoli encourages those starting their legal careers to choose a field they are passionate about: “Pick an area of law you’re passionate about—don’t choose something just for the sake of it. Your enthusiasm for a particular field will shine through and make a real difference.“

Looking Ahead

As a newly qualified solicitor, Minoli is excited about the next phase of her career. “I’m looking forward to taking on more responsibility, managing cases from start to finish, and continuing to grow in Family Law. Networking and building my profile are also priorities for me,“ she says.
