Joanna joined Smith & Co in November 2020 as a residential property specialist. She studied with the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEX) whilst working as a conveyancing secretary at a law firm in Colchester. She had previously studied at Colchester Institute and brings a strong background in legal administration with her.
In her forties, Joanna joined the police force for 5 years, initially as a uniformed police constable and then in the plain-clothes CID team. These roles gave Joanna a greater understanding of other people’s perspectives, an empathy for clients and improved communication skills. Joanna brings these experiences to her work in the conveyancing team at Smith and Co Solicitors.
Joanna’s clients tell us:
