What a Year for Our Legal PA of the Year 2015!

Winning Strictly’s Legal PA of the Year award for 2015 was a fantastic and enlightening experience. In the first instance, I was thrilled just to be nominated! It was humbling to know that the people I work with really do appreciate my hard work, commitment and dedication. Winning the award has afforded me many wonderful new opportunities: I have been invited to speak to students at South Essex College on the topic of what makes a good legal secretary, I was invited to participate in a documentary as part of a global initiative at a leading UK law firm to speak about the importance of PA roles, and I have been asked to take a principal role in developing the strategy to streamline branding and to implement a new ground transportation service at my international firm. However, most important for me, I have been more involved in the coordination and recruitment process for our on-going Trainee Legal Secretary programme. Mentoring and training young secretaries is very rewarding. To top all this, I continue to work for the most incredible team of lawyers who are encouraging and supportive. Without a doubt, 2015 has been the best year for me professionally, and I am very grateful to everyone who helped to make that happen. Good luck to all the 2016 nominees!”
