Why A Career In Law?
Amanda originally wanted to be a vet. However, while on work experience at a veterinary practise, one of the vets mentioned that he had always wanted to be a Lawyer, so Amanda looked into this and realised that this career would suit the way that her brain works, as it requires a strong attention to detail and an organised approach.
A Successful Day
Amanda describes a successful day as one where she manages to exchange on a particularly tricky matter.
Why Dutton Gregory?
Amanda wanted to move closer to family and the firm’s aspiration to become the best that it can be, alongside the flexibility offered in her role, really interested Amanda.
