I joined the Firm in 1992 as a solicitor after qualifying in 1991, I became a Partner in 1994 and headed up our residential conveyancing department. I was elected as Managing Partner in 2004, a position I held until I stepped down after 20 years in 2024. I am now the Firm’s Compliance Officer for Legal Practice (COLP) and my day to day work seeks to ensure we comply with the many regulatory and legislative requirements required to operate a solicitor’s firm.
