Since she began her training contract, she has gained experience in:
- Preparing hearing bundles

- Attending court and employment tribunal hearings
- Briefing counsel to represent clients at hearings
Miranda really enjoys meeting and talking to clients and counsel, which is handy as she takes a leading role in client communication.
Bringing a practical, problem-solving mindset to her role, Miranda is really enjoying supporting the commercial tepartment and the variety her job offers.
Previously Miranda was part of our Family team where she gained considerable experience in divorce, finance and child matters. Miranda was the one updating clients and liked to offer sympathetic support at what was often a very difficult period in people’s lives.
