IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS IN ONE WORD, WHAT WOULD THAT WORD BE?
Innovative. The firm embraces different ways of working when compared to a traditional law firm. We have an office space in Canary Wharf, London’s commercial hub. The space is available for face-to-face meetings when necessary, but most of our work is done virtually. Client consultations can be done by Skype. Clients can also access documents using our secure online portal. Geography doesn’t limit us.
The firm also has two highly qualified legal professionals. Brendon Christian has South African heritage and is licensed to practice law in England and Wales as a Solicitor and South Africa as an Attorney. I have Jamaican heritage and I am licensed to practice law in England and Wales as a Solicitor and Jamaica as an Attorney-at-Law. My aim is to make our firm one of the most prominent black firms in the UK.
THAT’S INTERESTING. TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR JAMAICAN BACKGROUND.
I was born in London to a Jamaican mother and Guyanese father. We migrated to Jamaica when I was 5 years old and I spent my childhood years there until I was 13. I attended St Hughs Preparatory School and St. Andrew High School for Girls while there. Thereafter, I moved back to England and lived in Bristol, where I completed secondary school, college and university. I moved back to London when I was 26 to do the internship. As you have gathered, I simply cannot stay put!
