Her work has involved communicating with clients, customers, the Court and third parties across a range of debt recovery litigation matters, while developing a strong understanding of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) and litigation processes. She has also supported enforcement proceedings, drafted claims and handled pre-action work, building a strong foundation in dispute resolution and debt recovery litigation.
Iga has played an important role in supporting the wider team by helping reduce departmental work queues, cross-skilling across different client matters and identifying efficiencies to improve productivity and service delivery. Her positive attitude and willingness to support colleagues have helped her become a trusted and well-regarded member of the team.
