I am a recruitment professional and have worked within recruitment for over 10 years now. My experience comes within both agency and in-house at large retailers such as Ocado.

My role at Lawrence Stephens allows me to headhunt for top talent across various specialisms and ensure we’re continuously providing the best possible service for our prospective employees. We pride ourselves on our culture, gender diversity and inclusion at Lawrence Stephens and I’m keen to keep growing the firm with our values at the forefront of every offer we make.

Outside of work, I am a mum of two and love to binge a good Netflix series (when I have time!)

I am a HR professional with over five years’ experience in the legal sector. I joined Lawrence Stephens in March 2023 to run the HR function after coming from roles within Early Careers and Learning & Development at Simmons & Simmons.

Lawrence Stephens is a fast-growing firm and I am focused on maintaining a strong service for our employees and fostering a supportive and thriving workplace and culture.

We have a growing HR team providing proactive, personal advice to people and management, while driving positive change and building new processes at the same time.

Outside of work, I am an enthusiastic amateur rower and enjoy working out a good ‘whodunit’.

I am a business development and marketing professional with long experience of the legal sector. Previous roles include assignments at a number of major law firms and most recently led on the creation and development of the Charles Russell Speechlys and then Howard Kennedy law firm brands and the implementation of their go-to-market approaches.

My role is both operational and strategic, ensuring that we do things as efficiently, accurately and consistently as possible, encouraging collaboration across our internal boundaries, joining the dots and helping steer the firm’s growth.

A technocrat, I am keen to utilise technology to help us engage with our audiences better and provide insight to help us make better decisions. 

Outside of work I am a keen but very amateur cyclist, fisherman and gardener, but not very successful at any of these.

I joined Lawrence Stephens as COO in September 2022 with over 30 years’ experience in the legal industry having held senior roles in Allen & Overy and Bird & Bird.

I am dedicated to ensuring our clients are provided with the best service through the effectiveness of our people and processes.

I spent my first ten years as a lawyer advising on employment and litigation, in private practice and in-house.  I moved into firm management to get closer to decision-making.  I have spent the last 20 years working to better understand the motivation of people in various types of firms in HR, Project Management and COO roles.  This has helped me guide firms and the people in them to do their best work for their clients.

I am involved in a number of charities focusing on education and career opportunities in the City and locally – though I admit to spending more time watching rugby and ‘tasting’ wine.  Before the beginning of each week, I try and enjoy running and cycling as well as removing motor oil from beneath my fingernails.
