Amy was drawn to a career in law because she enjoys arguing; she has translated her adversarial nature to the benefit of her clients and is always willing to fight for the best possible result. She never takes her opponents’ submissions at face value and will leave no stone unturned in ensuring her clients’ legal rights are pursued vigorously, relentlessly.

“There is nothing more empowering that knowing, beyond doubt, that my client holds the upper hand in the negotiation – that is the best feeling for me, and the reason I love my job.”

Amy believes that being chosen by a client, trusted by a client, is an honour and an opportunity to help, and says “some of our clients are struggling through their darkest hour, and it is our privilege to give them hope, and show them there is a light at the end of that tunnel”.
