What Angela

Job Titles:

S Clients Say

Angela has been a great asset to our in-house team providing much needed overflow support on a high volume of deals at quarter and year ends. She always responds quickly, happily acting as the ‘first line of defence' for our legal team and has directly supported our sales team to get their deals done. Her contract management and legal ops experience enabled her to get up to speed quickly with our business and her input to help improve our contract management processes and legal triaging was invaluable.

What Natalie

Job Titles:

S Clients Say

I worked with Nat for 18 months during which her legal guidance, leadership and support have been second to none and instrumental in helping us successfully navigate both our rapid growth and the challenges of the pandemic. She is an excellent communicator who works with precision and deftness - identifying and applying herself to challenges and then quickly finding the most pragmatic and cost-effective approaches to resolving them, regardless of which area of the law the challenges fell under (corporate / financial / employment). She clearly demonstrated how valuable a team member she was, gaining a statutory directorship at the company after 12 months - having firmly cemented herself into the senior leadership team.
