DIRECTOR

Jan has worked in the legal profession for over 30 years, initially as a legal secretary before qualifying as a lawyer.

She has extensive experience in property and commercial matters, spending time in big city firms and in a boutique entertainment law firm.

Her warm, straightforward approach is highly regarded by her clients, many of who have travelled with her throughout her career.

There is a secret belief in the office that she founded Mac & Co so she finally had a dog-friendly workplace and Elinor could join her each day. (You’ll meet Ellie when you come into our offices). Jan is slowly learning French so she can improve her appreciation of French wine and food.
