Support Team

Greta Galbraith - Practice Manager

What do you do?

As Practice Manager, I’m responsible for the administration side of things. Most of the time, I’m keeping the office ticking over so that our lawyers can concentrate on what they do best – developing relationships with our clients and delivering expert, business-focused legal advice. I also make sure that I stay up to date with current data protection stories to help me with compiling our newsletters and blogs.

Our team is friendly and supportive, plus the flexible working model is great for work/life balance. The work is challenging, but rewarding. It feels great to help move client matters along, whether that’s assisting with the onboarding process on the admin side or supporting our solicitors with their wider work.

Have you always worked in law?

No. I worked in molecular biology labs for 15 years after graduating from university with a biology degree, then I traded my pipettes in to become a stay-at-home mum. Now that my daughter is at school I find that working for Pritchetts allows me to have that sought after work/life balance, and working as a legal practice manager I still get to use my keen eye for detail and love for precision that I honed after 15 years spent working with DNA. 

Hilary Homer - Legal Support Assistant

What do you do?

I am a part-time Legal Support Assistant, providing document production services to the team. Of course, our lawyers don’t delegate the legal advice itself, but where they think it appropriate, I edit and proofread documentation that they’ve drafted. In this way, we can provide a cost-effective way to help clients manage some of the more time-intensive compliance tasks, such as information-gathering for audits and data-mapping, and preparing documents. My experience as an editor of technical materials, combined with my post-GDPR Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection ( PC.dp ) qualification, is a major plus for this role.

Have you always worked in law?

Nope! My background is in educational publishing, where I worked on the production side as well as freelancing as an editor and proofreader for various companies. I decided to specialise into this area with my day job, which led me to take a full-time role as Lead Editor for a company producing learning materials for major tech companies. 

In 2016, I joined Pritchetts Law as Practice Manager, where the position expanded to encompass a Legal Support Assistant role. After eight years as Practice Manager, I handed over to Greta, and I now retain my part-time Legal Support Assistant role while pursuing wider opportunities.
