Gracie Coleman

Gracie Coleman was appointed to assist the Grievance Pane of which I was Chair. The grievance was multi-faceted, historical in parts, and involved two complainants and the need to interview multiple witnesses in order to deliver a high number of outcomes.
Gracie worked with us to ensure we were thorough, empathetic and able to triangulate witness statements in order to reach sound conclusions. Throughout the process Gracie was professional, honest, open and provided sound advice. If she was unsure of a point of law/process she sought the advice of her mentor before offering an opinion.
Gracie displayed excellent people skills, was highly efficient and timely in her responses.
I believe Gracie has the qualities to be an excellent solicitor and I would highly recommend her.
