Senior Practice Manager @Wilberforce Chambers

I am the Senior Practice Manager for the Senior Juniors\' team.I began my career in 1987 and joined Wilberforce in 1988 as a Junior Clerk. During my time in Chambers I have clerked the likes of the Master of the Rolls (now Baron Etherton, of Marylebone in the City of Westminster), Mr Justice Warren (retired) and Lord Justice Nugee.I have over 30 years experience in the management and promotion of barristers’ practices and am responsible for the Senior Juniors\' practices which involves the management of diaries, acceptance and distribution of work, fee negotiation and management of client relationships. I provide a professional, reliable and personal service to all our solicitors and clients and am happy to advise on the type of expertise and experience required for a particular case.I also have knowledge of the practices of all our members across our wider practice areas, and I am happy to talk to anyone who would like to know more information about how we can help.I am a member of the Institute of Barristers’ Clerks.
