"I am a campaigner, communicator and investigator - I enjoy solving problems and working with a variety of people to help them achieve their objectives. Every day is a school day for me as I usually learn something new every day and enjoy the challenge of the mixture of the commercial with the legal."

"A large part of my role is advising on commercial contracts and commercial disputes. I also advise on compliance issues that the business might face and make sure that it operates within the law and the regulations. I sometimes advise on employee related matters and property matters but the overall aim of what I do is to protect the business.The starting salary for a lawyer varies greatly depending on the type of law and the geographical area. For a trainee lwyer you can earn £20-40k and for a Newly Qualified you can earn £30k to £50k"

"I am a runner but only started at 39 - I hated PE at school but managed to run my first marathon in 2021! "
