Mary Anne Fedeyko, Director and Business Services Team Leader, says: "When you work at a big London firm you tend to become very specialised. The great thing about working at TSP is the breadth of the work that we deal with in the Corporate and Commercial department and the intellectual challenges we face on a daily basis. But in addition to that TSP is a very family-friendly firm and a great place to work. All this and no commute...where else would you want to work!"
