Newcastle Read bio

I've built my whole career at Ward Hadaway. The firm has given me every opportunity I could have asked for and many more. The firm has the depth and breadth of experience to win and deliver on projects of critical national significance. Alongside this though the firm still retains a family feel where people genuinely get along on a personal level and want to build relationships and help each other deliver for the benefit of our clients. In the 15 years I have been with the firm we have grown and expanded but the message and objective remains the same – to be the best we can for the benefit of our clients to help them achieve their goals and to do so while delivering incredible customer service. I also take a huge pleasure in seeing the firm growth both expanding into new regions/practice areas but also the continuing stream of young lawyers through our emerging talent programme. The calibre gets greater every year and it gives me great confidence in the future of our firm.
