A PROPERTY specialist at Essex law firm Birkett Long has received promotion to Associate level in recognition of her work.

Keeley Livingstone, a licensed conveyancer with the firm, is head of the firm’s South Essex Residential Real Estate team.

She says: “I was very proud to be told I had received this promotion.

“I enjoy every aspect of my job – it gives me a great buzz when you get to the completion day of any deal.”

Keeley, who lives in Chelmsford, says the whole team enjoys close working relationships with clients.

She explains: “I often see clients outside of office hours to fit in with their working day and we all offer clients our direct-dial numbers.”

She leads a team of 14 including six lawyers: “There is always someone to help if people cannot get through to a certain person.”

Keeley is also a committee member of the Essex Ladies in Business, an organisation set up last summer to bring together professional women in and around Essex to make new connections and business opportunities.

Birkett Long has branches across Essex including in Chelmsford, Colchester and Basildon and has 22 partners.
