Maaike trained and qualified at a Magic Circle firm where she specialised in employment law, whilst also advising on pension and share scheme elements of deals.
With significant exposure to high value, time-pressured and often international transactions, as well as early experience of complex advisory work, her practice was exciting and demanding.
Following a career break, Maaike has joined the Shaping Excellence Training business, led by Sam Greenhalgh, and joins Jonathan Shevlane in delivering the firm’s exceptional training events.
