Experience
I have worked at Fishers for almost nine years. In the Dispute Resolution team I am the first point of call for old and new clients, dealing with telephone calls and internet enquiries, making appointments and advising clients of costings. Other tasks that fill my day are preparation of general correspondence and Court documents by post and via the Court portals, keeping client e-files up to date, providing administrative assistance to fee earners on business sales and purchases and on client matters generally.
Before I joined Fishers I worked at a large East Midlands firm for seven years also in Dispute Resolution, also I have worked for one of the ‘big five’ corporate firms in Johannesburg in Trademarks and Intellectual Property whilst spending some years in South Africa. My career began as a trainee at Roll-Royce Aero Engines in the Legal Department in Derby.
Dispute Resolution covers a wide variety of problems from boundary and neighbour disputes to landlord and tenant issues and the commercial side is varied and at times challenging. No two problems are the same which means there is never a dull moment!
In my spare time I like getting my steps in on long walks in the country, reading, theatre and travelling (often back to South Africa) and following England cricket.
