Paula has a great ability to explain complex legal issues to her stakeholders, who have full trust in her technical skills and judgement. She is never fazed and is always extremely calm and focused. Above all, Paula is a great colleague and a delight to work with.”

“Paula has an ability to maintain the commercial objective, working collaboratively to achieve goals, whilst clearly being an expert in her own field. I particularly appreciate Paula's willingness to share context or rationale, as it develops the knowledge and understanding of those that work with her. The combination of these traits and skills, as well as being hugely personable, make Paula a highly valued colleague.”
