Innovative.
What has been the most satisfying moment of your Trenches Law career so far?
Closing my first case. With this particular client there were many facets to complete for each site, which took lots of investigating, negotiating, and amendments to the wayleave agreement. The successful completion of this case now enables our client to upgrade their network to provide 5G to a rural location, allowing residents to connect to it and reap the benefits of fast connectivity. A great result for everyone!

Sharon McDermott, our co-founder and Managing Director, for being a trailblazer in creating the internal legal support team, which has been invaluable in assisting with legal queries since its inception.

To continue to be innovative and to support our clients’ digital journeys.
