Madeleine Brown

Operations Assistant

As an operations assistant, I support the smooth day-to-day running of the firm, helping to ensure everything behind the scenes works as efficiently as possible. My role spans a wide range of responsibilities, from coordinating events and managing facilities and logistics, to being the point of contact for suppliers and assisting with administrative processes.

I spend a lot of time writing creatively, and I have always enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how different elements will fit together. That mindset has carried through to my role today, where I approach problems methodically and look for solutions that are clear, practical and efficient. I enjoy finding ways to make complex things work, especially when it helps the wider team focus on their priorities.

Before joining the firm, I studied History at university which developed my analytical thinking and attention to detail. Prior to this, I spent time living abroad and working in a boarding school in Australia, where I took on a variety of responsibilities that required organisation and adaptability. Since joining White & Black I have realised that what I find so enjoyable about my current position can also be found in a legal role. I’m very excited to be starting my own journey to becoming a solicitor at White and Black later this year.
