Starting out my career as a legal secretary I worked for several years at international law firm DWF before taking a break to start a family. When Arun reached out and asked me to join Tenet, I accepted his offer thinking it would be 10 hours a week supporting just him with legal admin. Fast forward to my role at Tenet today, I am practice manager with responsibilities that require a lot more than 10 hours a week and managing a team of 12, but I wouldn’t change a thing.
My responsibilities consist of anything from HR, IT and finance to increasing team morale and compliance. I am approachable, calm under pressure and enjoy the every day challenges that come with running a niche law firm.
I have extensive experience in the management of suppliers, recruitment, bookkeeping, Companies House compliance, liaison with the Solicitor’s Regulation Authority, managing the firms accounts, filing, administrative tasks, billing files and external cost agency liaison. My attention to detail ensures that all tasks are done accurately and efficiently. I have a proven track record of ensuring tasks are completed accurately and in a timely manner, as well as being able to effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously. Additionally, I have strong communication skills that allow me to remain in contact with all relevant parties, ensuring that any queries are answered quickly.
I work closely with the entire team helping them manage client relationships and to ensure that the right lawyer is assigned to the task and that we consistently deliver a first rate service, on time and within budget and receive fee’s accordingly.
Working at Tenet is the perfect balance of career advancement and family life. Thanks to the modern approach to working and trust we have across the firm, I’m able to be present in all areas of my life. Being a mother of two small children, I often choose to work outside of traditional working hours. Tenet’s approach to flexibility and work life balance allows me to grow professionally while still prioritising important family events.
I am fortunate to have been part of Tenet from the very beginning and although there have been ups and down and many challenges along the way I am enormously proud of what we have created. Call it a team, call it values, call it culture…… we call it the Tenet Tribe.
