“One of the things I have treasured most about my experience has been the opportunity to learn and develop at my own pace, both in terms of technical legal knowledge, but also in terms of leadership and management experience. I am passionate about securing outstanding results for our clients, whether that be securing a long-awaited surgery, or a significant damages lump sum. I am also driven by my desire to retain our talent, by growing and developing our people. I am also grateful for Zaparas’ commitment to community, particularly in terms of our charitable fundraisers and sponsorships.”
