Partner Jane heads up our residential property department within
the firm, and has been a qualified solicitor for over 20 years.
Jane spent the early part of her career working in the
commercial and residential property departments of law firms in
London, she 'came home' to the north west and joined Walker Smith
Way in 1999.
Jane deals with all types of residential property work, but
specialises in high value complex transactions and leasehold
properties.
Why did you choose to specialise in residential
property?
I like dealing with people and buildings and playing with
words so it just seemed to fall into place.
What has been the highlight of your career so
far?
In 1989, quite early on, I persuaded a very experienced
solicitor to purchase a shopping centre with a complicated title
which had not yet been registered. He finally agreed to go ahead on
the basis that I seemed to know what I was talking about.
What do you feel most passionate about within your
working life?
I am happy when I know the client feels secure and understands
what is happening when buying a house or flat.
What do you feel most passionate about in your home
life?
Remembering to have one.
If you won the lottery tomorrow, what is the first
thing you would do?
Throw caution to the wind.
