In my second year studying law at university, I fell in love twice. Not only did I meet my future husband, but I also did a vacation scheme at pre-merger Lovells and realised I had also found my career soulmate. Last year was quite special, as I celebrated my 30th anniversary at Hogan Lovells and my 25th wedding anniversary.
The short, sharp timelines of deals really appealed to my personality and work type, and that’s definitely proved to be the case. As a trainee, I enjoyed my banking seat and realised I have quite a short attention span and couldn’t see myself working on something that could span several years. The variety I get, both on a day-to-day basis and deal by deal, suits me better and I’m more conciliatory than adversarial.
