Law wasn’t on my radar until my husband’s sudden death.

I raised my children, alone as a single parent.

I felt scared, unsure, helpless.

The law was extremely confusing. It wasn’t straight forward and it was so incredibly hard to navigate while coming to terms with a new way of life without my partner. 

I didn’t know who to turn to or which way to go.

I was lost. 

So, I decided to find a way to help decipher the law. And now, I’m shaking things up so that no-one has to experience what I did.

Because the law isn’t black, white or grey.

It isn’t a one-size-fits all. 

It is something different to every person, for many unique reasons.

That’s why Sward Law is doing things differently

Life is about to get better.

‘I have only been with Sward Law since March 2018 but it feels like this is where I have always belonged.It feels like home.

I come to work every day because I want to and not because I have to. From the start of the week when we all share the highs and lows of our weekend, to the end of week when we are all tired and ready for a break (and a glass of wine), there is never a dull moment in our office. No topic is off limits and I never feel like I have to put on a front. If I am happy the girls are happy for me, if I am sad the girls are sad with me.

We support each other, we encourage each other and we care for each other and that is why I love working at Sward Law. ‘

‘I enjoy working with the wonderful team at Sward Law who are constantly a source of fun and laughter. I look forward to coming into work and hearing all the wonderful, and at times inappropriate, stories from everyone in the office.

It is a pleasure to be a part of the Sward Law family. I can honestly say that I have never worked in a more supportive and loving environment.’

‘I love that it feels like family. We bring our own personality traits and quirks to the table but work together to focus on and achieve the same end goal…. helping people.

The irony in the family feel of the firm is that Tania and I really are family. We are the mother – daughter duo who have built this firm together, creating a new style of lawyering when it comes to our customer service and client-solicitor relationship. I love that our office is full of life no matter who walks in the door and that we incorporate laughter into our day, whether it be at a situation, ourselves or each other.

I love that we are an office full of women, who are full of personality and attitude, but we are also a group of Mothers who are real and genuine, who have lived through our own real personal struggles and achievements.’
