Colleague Spotlight
Alison Preston, Administrator
Hi, I’m Alison and I’m an Administrator. I focus mainly on internal team admin but also pick up the occasional bit of client admin when needed. I’ve worked with the team since 2015 and became permanent in 2018.
I enjoy the variety of my role and the team certainly keep me busy! I work part-time and really appreciate the work/life balance this allows. The team I work with are great, really supportive and we have a giggle – I think it’s important to enjoy coming to work and be able to have a laugh with your colleagues to break up the stresses of a busy day!
Outside of work, I love getting together with friends, I’m interested in history and also like to cook. I’m a real foodie – as a family we enjoy eating out but also cooking at home. We cook as much as possible from scratch – everything from homemade pasta to curries to cakes. And I have to keep pretty active to burn all those calories off!

We moved our legal support to WorkNest (formerly Law at Work) having previously used a time and line law firm. It was important, though, that an all-inclusive fee structure did not come at the expense of quality. Thankfully we’ve been delighted with the service we’ve received from WorkNest.”
