Strategy Director at Michelmores LLP. I joined the firm in 2004 as a corporate lawyer, and moved into marketing soon after. I led the Marketing & BD team for 13 years before taking on my current role at the beginning of May 2024

In a previous life I was a commercial/corporate solicitor, working for Berwin Leighton Paisner (London), Garretts/Andersens (Hong Kong), Herbert Smith (Hong Kong), Charltons (Hong Kong), Ashfords (Exeter) and finally found my home at Michelmores LLP (Exeter). One of the best parts of being a lawyer was helping clients to achieve their goals.

I still love working with clients and seeing where we can add value and make connections for them. Our Destination 2030 strategy is all about progress, and helping our clients and people to navigate change. Whilst combining profit with purpose.

I love any new challenge, both at work and at home, so between my new role, three daughters, two dogs, one grandchild and a husband, I am kept busy. Exercise helps to keep me sane, and a few people may have been heard to say that I am a little competitive…
