Pam advised on employment law issues in relation to some difficult and complex negotiations. I am in no doubt that we would not have achieved it without Pam’s help and expertise. I enjoyed working with Pam; her advice was at all times clear, comprehensive and to the point.

Pam advised on a highly complex and sensitive matter. Her advice was excellent. Through her involvement, we reached a successful outcome that significantly reduced the Association’s financial exposure. She showed great support to the Association and its senior officers at a challenging time.
