Star success for Amanda

A MEMBER of Dumfries and Galloway Council's legal team has received an award from the Scottish Paralegal Association. Amanda Beck from was named a Paralegal Super Star Award. She has over 20 years' legal experience and nearly ten years with the council, specialising in property and conveyancing matters. A council spokesperson said: "Her knowledge and understanding of the legal context, processes and the assets the council holds is first class, as is her work ethic. Recently, over a six-month period, due to a lack of property solicitors within the service, Amanda took on the responsibility solely for delivering all property work and conveyancing with limited assistance. "During this time, Amanda dealt with some highly complex and high-profile matters, such as negotiating 16 radio hill mast agreements with the country’s leading mobile telecommunications providers which contained complicated provisions for installation of equipment housing, limitations to the technical requirements as well as convoluted service charge and rental arrangements. "Amanda has the respect of her management team, her peers and her clients as a result of her knowledge, credibility and her ability to deliver positive outcomes. Well done Amanda."
