Margaret Waldron, 59, owner and principal solicitor at The Law Practice talks about her career path to date
What did you want to be when you were young?
Owning my own business was never actually my end goal – and neither was working in property or law. As a child, I actually wanted to be a cowgirl. Now I content myself with being a country music fan.
What are the main career stepping stones you have taken?
I’ve had a diverse career history. After studying languages at university I dabbled in banking, completed my secretarial studies and fine-tuned my organisational skills as a personal assistant. I then merged family life and work by qualifying as a playgroup supervisor. In my mid-thirties, I challenged myself with a degree and by 43 was a qualified solicitor.
