Jagoda Krzyzowska
Jagoda is a Solicitor at Blackwood & Smith. She has recently joined our team as a newly qualified solicitor having completed her training at a Law Firm in North Berwick. Jagoda is an experienced conveyancer and is enjoying undertaking private client work. She has a passion for property and loves the variety that property transactions they bring. No two conveyancing files are ever the same!
Jagoda is originally from Poland and moved to Scotland in 2006. She gained a Bachelor degree in Politics at the University of Silesia in Poland before completing a masters degree in International Conflicts and Cooperation at Stirling University. She worked in Brussels for a time, before moving back to Scotland to complete a masters degree in International Law at Edinburgh University. With her interest in the law ignited she then went on to study for her LLB at Robert Gordon University before finally completing her legal education with her Diploma in Legal Practice from Edinburgh University.
Jagoda moved to the Borders in 2013 and lives just outside of Peebles. Her favourite things about the Borders are: the space, the breathtaking views, the freedom to walk everywhere and the feeling of a real community spirit.
Jagoda enjoys many hobbies outside of the law which include sailing, upcycling furniture and home DIY. Her hobbies however are all subject to a rare moment of free time which can be hard to come by with a young family!
Jagoda’s favourite thing about being a solicitor is meeting lots of different people from different backgrounds and the challenge of continuous learning.
Jagoda’s three favourite things are: cooking with the kids to her favourite tunes while dancing around the kitchen, reading crime novels, and weekends in Tighnabruaich.
