• 1 - 100 Employee

• Senior Clerk

  • Jun 2009 - Present

  I have been part of the St Pauls' team since 2000. In 2009 I took on the role of Senior Clerk. My main role as Senior Clerk involves the promotion and support of chambers and its members. ‘You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time’ That quote certainly sums up my approach to this job. I have a very good understanding of the barristers I work with and have assisted many in capitalising on their talents, skills and knowledge. I appreciate one size does not fit all. I consider it my role to keep those members of chambers connected by our common goal. My role within chambers allows me to put in to practise those skills I have developed over my 24 years as a barrister's clerk. I am a supporter of all those I work alongside. I have strategic thinking that keeps me focused on my goals for chambers. I am a developer with insightful knowledge of the legal and business sector. I have a large network of contacts across the country. This allows me to connect business to business and has proven very successful over recent years. We have particular expertise when it comes to advising clients on environmental issues both regulatory compliance advice and advice following It is obvious to me that there will always be a requirement for quality advocacy. The message from us is clear. By supporting St Pauls Chambers you will in turn, be supported. We have a strong presence in the market place which provides us with many opportunities to reciprocate the loyalty we are shown. We are not afraid of change and welcome the opportunity to adapt our business model to suit the changing ways we deliver our services. We are dedicated in our research to best understand the needs of our clients, pitch to new clients, develop new business structures and adapt our role to meet the changing demands for legal service providers.
