What do you enjoy about your role?

I enjoy working closely with clients and am passionate about becoming a trusted and integral part of the client team.

A personal bespoke service tailored to achieving their commercial goals and timescales.

What drew you to this sort of work?

I get a real buzz seeing my legal work in real life as clients showcase their new developments and I see the fruition of my legal work for the first time.
