Manchester

Yasmin Dacas is a Solicitor Graduate within our Court of Protection, Property & Affairs team.
Professional Biography
Yasmin is currently working towards qualification as a Solicitor through the Solicitor Apprenticeship Scheme at the University of Law, which she began in January 2022. This route combines academic study with practical legal experience, allowing her to develop her skills whilst working within the firm.
Yasmin joined Simpson Millar in November 2018, starting in the New Business team, where she gained valuable experience speaking with clients at the early stages of their legal journey. She progressed to a Paralegal role in July 2021, before moving into her current position as a Solicitor Apprentice in January 2022.
Over the course of her time at the firm, Yasmin has gained experience across several departments, including Private Client, the Education department, and Wills, Trusts and Probate. This varied background has given her a broad understanding of legal processes and the different ways in which legal issues can impact individuals and families.
In her day-to-day role, Yasmin assists with Court of Protection Property and Affairs matters, supporting solicitors with case preparation, client communication, and the management of deputyship cases. She also manages a small caseload of her own, including the set-up and progression of Personal Injury Trusts, helping to protect compensation awarded to individuals following an injury. Through this work, she supports the careful management of clients’ financial affairs and helps ensure decisions are made in their best interests.
Yasmin has always been driven by a desire to support people through difficult periods in their lives. She understands that every client’s situation is unique and values taking the time to build a genuine connection, ensuring each person feels heard and supported. Yasmin takes pride in offering a thoughtful and tailored approach, recognising that legal matters often have a significant personal impact. It is this commitment to helping others and making a meaningful difference that continues to motivate her in her role.

"Complex tribunal appeal. I had the pleasure of working with Yasmin during a complex appeal involving Surrey LA. Throughout the process, Yasmin demonstrated exceptional professionalism, in-depth knowledge of the law and a tireless commitment to achieving the best outcome for her client, a young woman with complex needs. Her strategic approach and attention to detail were instrumental in securing the LA’s concession and agreement to our proposed amendments at the CMH, a fantastic result given the difficulties we had encountered earlier in the case. Yasmin combines sharp legal insight with genuine empathy and clear communication, ensuring that her client feels fully supported and confident throughout what can be a challenging and daunting process. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert guidance and dedicated representation in appeals."

"Cancelled EHCP. Unfortunately, the local council decided to cancel my son's EHCP when we still wanted it in place so he could go on to a special college. My son's future at college was ensured by Simpson Millar. Yasmin is a very capable lady and totally removed the stress from my shoulders, dealt with all parties in a timely manner and ensured we would get the result we wanted. My son now has a three-year college experience to look forward to. Excellent work, A*."
