After starting working life as an Estate Agent Mary made the move into Conveyancing in 2017 with another Leicestershire conveyancing firm, watching them transition from a smaller hands on company to becoming part of a larger conveyancing group, operating electronically, and primarily remotely. Finding this was not for her and preferring the smaller hands on approach, Mary joined HPLC in 2022 as a conveyancer.
Handling her own case load, and studying for her Level 4 conveyancing technician qualification, Mary has rapidly become a vital member of the team, bringing her dry sense of humour to every situation. Dealing with clients empathetically and compassionately through the mire of the conveyancing process.
Mary is a huge football fan and Liverpool supporter, playing for a ladies team in her spare time. She is also a dedicated fund raiser for Molly’s Gift giving opportunities to under privileged children and young adults, and gives her time on a Saturday morning to Molly’s Gift kids club.

Starting at HPLC in 2016 looking for a career change from recruitment, Charlotte started covering reception and administration tasks. Rapidly progressing to handling conveyancing transactions and her own case load, whilst studying and qualifying as a Conveyancing Technician.

An important and vital process often under appreciated which will benefit from Charlottes attention to detail and methodical approach.
HPLC is pleased to welcome Charlotte back to the fold.
As a mother of two Charlotte doesn’t have much spare time other than enjoying time with both her children and her partner.

Having a varied work background from administrating in a large and very busy private car hire company, to training as a barista in a local café, and becoming a registered child minder to fit in with her own family life, Lauren’s experience makes her a perfect fit for our busy reception and administration work.

After deciding a career change from hairdressing was in order, Debbi re-trained in accounting, and became a part-time legal cashier at another local law firm. On the retirement of our own cashier we invited Debbi to join the team and oversee our accounts and book-keeping.

Any spare time Debbi has is currently spent helping her husband with the development of their home, but socializing with friends is a definite must in Debbi’s social calendar.

Oscar is the head of our staff morale division. His knowledge of conveyancing is a bit ruff, but he’s an expert in the dog house. If you’ve been barking up the wrong tree or need paws for thought, he’s your man, fur sure. He might try and collar you when you pop in to visit, but if you prefer your legal professionals to be of the two-legged variety, he’s got enough leads of his own to keep him occupied.

We must be barking mad adding this hot dog to our kennel. She may sound like a Rottweiler, but she is all bark, and she fetches smiles with her sassy ways. If you’re needing a change of cage, she will hide under the blanket and leave the digging to the professionals.
