Office Administrator

Sylvie knows how to support our team and to keep the wheels on turning. She is about client service and works efficiently and that suits us well.

She provides support to professional staff and to our clients and the work she does is integral to the smooth operation of our firm. Sylvie believes in our brand and in delivering to our clients, on time and with a smile.

When Sylvie isn’t busy servicing our team and our clients, she is involved in her own academic pursuits – a degree in the Law.

We think it’s fair to say Sylvie will be with us for good and we see ourselves as lucky that way.
