Shannalea is a Solicitor Apprentice that is in her second year at the firm. Currently in her second seat in the Recovery+ Team, she is rotating around the varied teams that make up WBD Advance; the firm's alternative legal services group providing high volume services and projects to support more than 200 clients every year.
She manages a diverse workload and is currently working on a managed service that provides assistance for a high volume of matters relating to preparing Court Documentation to conduct the process of Mortgage Possession, Receivership Appointment, and executing a warrant request for evictions in line with the appropriate Civil Procedure Rules.
Previously within the Litigation Services and Commercial Projects Team (LSC Pro) Shannalea could often be called upon to collaborate on document review tasks, most significantly working on a preservation notice and document scheduling task for a global pharmaceutical company.
Additionally, she was also part of a redaction service that provided advice for suitable redactions for a public platform that supported the prevention of high profile data breaches in relation to personal data and commercially sensitive information.
Furthermore, Shannalea has also provided support for a leading global insurance organisation, specialising in recovering costs for our client and reviewing files to make an appropriate judgement on recovery prospects for each case, collating the necessary exhibits that demonstrate this.
As another area that she has partaken in, she has also assisted an international banking company in conducting commercial lease reviews to ensure the suitability of the real estate documentation and suggesting and approving amendments where necessary. In addition, she had helped oversee a triage system whereby the type, complexity, and cost of the work was reviewed to recognise what was required to ensure the very tight service level agreement timescales, liaising directly with the client to help build a strong relationship with them.
