Pam joined the firm as a Conveyancing Assistant in 2003 assisting the conveyancing department dealing with the day to day work of property transactions including audio typing, discussing transactions with clients and finalising completions.
As the recession hit, Pam's role changed in that she became more of a support to other fee earners and her scope widened to litigation, family and wills. Pam feels this has made her job more invigorating as it means that she no longer deals in one area of Law but gets to work in a variety of areas.
On a personal note Pam has been with her Partner for 22 years and has a son who is aged 5 years. Her hobbies include playing squash, socialising and her PS3!!
