What's my role?
I am a legal secretary in the Commercial Property department
My experience
I began working as a legal secretary at a small Intellectual Property law firm in St Albans, a couple of years after finishing university. This was 17 years ago and have since worked as a legal secretary and PA within a number of areas of law including Personal Injury, Clinical Negligence, Immigration and Residential & Commercial Property in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Testimonials
The team is particularly good at assisting in complex or unusual property development deals. They are one of the most approachable firms, very down-to-earth, but look at the wider picture.
