Why did you choose the law?

This is something I always wanted to do, it just took me a little longer to get here.

Tell us a bit about how you got here…

I have not taken your typical path to being a solicitor. I studied languages (Russian and English) at University and later in my working life I requalified as a solicitor.  Initially I worked as a paralegal in a large international law firm in Birmingham. I trained with a local firm in Solihull and I finally joined Hatton Button as a solicitor in 2015.

What does your day job look like?

Each day is different, but as a rule each day starts with logging onto my computer and checking emails.  I am paper free so most of my work is done via emails and Teams and I cannot imagine my work life without two computer screens!  As a corporate and commercial solicitor, I spend a lot of time drafting, pursuing, researching and negotiating.  I have a regular contact with clients by emails and Teams.

I have a wide range of experience advising clients on all aspects of commercial and corporate law.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I like to travel.  I play tennis and I love skiing (provided slopes have snow!).  I can speak Slovak and Czech.
