About Donna
My career highlight so far...
Being made a Partner of the firm following a longer path than most to a legal career it was an immensely proud moment. I also enjoy having the privilege of being entrusted by clients to help them navigate one of the most challenging times in their lives.
What do you do in your spare time?
