Meet Amanda Mallender!
Amanda began her legal career as a commercial litigator but moved in-house almost 20 years ago, to support a large, global business with its varied, broad-ranging and complex legal issues.
Helping businesses grow with technical legal advice
She joined The Legal Director four years ago with a wealth of knowledge and experience, recognising the benefits its unique service model offers to businesses. In previous roles, Amanda had found the legal information given by external lawyers frustratingly divorced from any commercial context. She could see that TLD could help close the gap that many firms experience between the technical legal advice provided by external law firms and how that advice can be effectively implemented within a business. Amanda enjoys being embedded in companies at a senior level so she can understand and help businesses most effectively. A practical and solutions-driven lawyer, Amanda puts in the time to know each company’s systems and processes and is happy to offer senior management clear opinions and considered guidance that is specifically tailored to support their business objectives.
Her clients consider her as part of their team, trust her advice and appreciate the time that she has freed up for them. Simon Brown, MD of ForrestBrown, a specialist research and development tax credit consultancy based in Bristol, said of her, “Amanda has taken lots of work off my plate and allowed me to focus on my core role.” Read the ForrestBrown case study.
Amanda loves working with rapidly growing businesses and helping them build and develop good governance processes. Whether she is drafting user-friendly templates, negotiating key contracts, advising on data protection issues, or ensuring compliance with employment laws, Amanda puts in place foundations that support growth and foster success.
Responsive and Flexible
Amanda’s clients have told us how much they value her responsiveness and flexibility in helping them deal with day-to-day legal issues. Though these businesses do not need a full-time legal resource, the TLD model gives them access to a high-quality senior lawyer in Amanda as and when they require.
