Day to day, Jennifer keeps the partnership focused on the priorities that matter to clients and referrers. She sets direction and makes sure the right people are in the room when decisions are taken. Autonomy with accountability is a hallmark of her approach – team leaders are trusted to lead, supported with clear expectations and regular check-ins. Communication is open and direct, and the emphasis is on practical delivery, careful budgeting and documentation that stands up to scrutiny.

Her background informs that style. Before moving full-time into leadership, Jennifer worked in Commercial Property and helped to grow the team here. She has significant experience across retail and leisure, and deep knowledge of pension property investments. That technical grounding gives her a useful lens when shaping new specialisms, calibrating staffing plans and coordinating with other professions.

 

Culture is central. Jennifer champions a “one firm” way of working where people feel supported, valued and encouraged to share what they are learning. She is known for listening, testing assumptions and folding in lessons from complex projects. Mentoring is built into the rhythm of the firm – structured feedback, access to senior colleagues and well sequenced opportunities to lead. The result is a working environment that attracts strong lawyers and enables them to grow.

Those who work with Jennifer see clear priorities, well sequenced plans and steady progress. Decisions are taken with care, moving parts are coordinated and issues are anticipated early. The aim is simple – a firm that delivers specialist work to a consistent standard, grows with purpose and remains a great place to build a career.
