Alison is a very experienced part of our support team. She works across both our busy Family Law team and Private Client department, liaising with clients and working with the teams on their cases.
She has over 20 years of experience in family law and worked for 12 years working for Sarah Dixon and Co, before joining Pearson Solicitors. Alison has previous medical negligence experience for solicitors working on behalf of the General Medical Council and has a keen eye for details.
In her spare time, she is attempting to learn Turkish and she likes exploring different areas of Turkey as well as cooking local cuisine.
Allison works as a Legal Assistant in the Child Care department, dealing with clients, guardians and other solicitors and providing support to fee earners, preparing Legal Aid applications and Legal Aid bills.
With 15 years' service under her belt, Allison's aims and goals at Pearson are to continue to consistently provide a high level of service to clients with support and understanding in what is often an upsetting and challenging time for them.
Allison previously worked for an engineering company, managing their British Standard Quality System.
In her spare time, Allison enjoys city breaks and holidays with friends, spending time with her children and grandchildren of which she has three aged 17, 7 and 3.
Amanda is a Legal Secretary based in the Corporate and Commercial department in our North Manchester office at Hollinwood, and has been with the firm for two years.
She has many years' experience of working for both medium size and large firms of solicitors in Manchester. It was during her fourteen years stint as a Legal Secretary in Corporate and Commercial that she previously worked for one of our partners Keith Kennedy, Head of our Corporate and Commercial department. Immediately prior to joining Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers Amanda held a Document Production Specialist role.
She enjoys Corporate and Commercial work and likes getting her teeth stuck into amending long and complex documents. Her role allows her to undertake tasks outside a typical secretarial role and her experience means she can draft short corporate documents and compile disclosure bundles.
Amanda loves getting to know our clients and enjoys the pressure that comes with working towards a completion deadline.
Outside of work she enjoys reading, holidays and interior design. Living in an older property she always has a project on the go and dedicates a lot of her spare time to renovating her home which is her pride and joy.
