Phil believes his role as a solicitor charges him with immeasurable responsibility as he acts as the gatekeeper of justice for his clients.

This is because you are “Being entrusted with someone's problems and having the opportunity to help them through a difficult part of their lives,” he says.

Phil relishes the fact that each new matter brings new challenges and a chance to learn and develop. He also enjoys “being a part of such a progressive and client-focused firm makes every day at work worthwhile.”
