Maria’s interest in the law began in 2004 when she undertook a work experience placement at a local firm of solicitors. This later turned into a part-time job.
She started Switalskis in May 2014, initially as a secretary. Maria then progressed to an assistant before taking up her role as a fee earner.
Maria’s interest in her career development led to her being offered a training contract in January 2021. She is due to qualify as a solicitor in the summer of 2023.
More about Maria
We asked Maria: What do you enjoy most about your job? I like speaking to my clients and getting to know them throughout the transaction. It’s always satisfying ringing the clients on completion day telling them they can go and collect the keys to their new house. What can clients expect from you? Buying a house is one of the most exciting and potentially most stressful things a person can do. I try and make the process as straight forward as possible, speaking to clients in simple terms and keeping them up to date throughout. Ultimately my clients can expect a professional and efficient service throughout.
