Sophie Kempton
Legal Support Assistant
In the Dispute Resolution team, I help with completing dictation, typing, photocopying, preparing court bundles, answering the telephone, booking appointments, and answering general queries that my team may have with regards to admin. I am based in our Colchester office, and am available to arrange a free 15 minute chat over the phone on 01206 217372.
No two days are the same. Dispute resolution can be very fast paced at times, and I enjoy the challenge and the variety of work.
I wanted to join Birkett Long because it was a successful firm and I wanted a new challenge. I decided to become a legal secretary because growing up my mum was also in the same field.
In my free time I enjoy keeping fit and going to the gym at least 3 times a week. I have a little boy, so enjoy days out with him and we also love having movie nights! I love music and attend various events throughout the year.
