Barbara Arnott

My Story:

I started my career in the film industry working for a distribution company and thereafter in the petrochemical industry in an office managerial role.  Having taken a career break to care for my young daughter, I joined a commercial legal firm in Surrey and gained substantial commercial property and company secretarial experience along with practice management.

I joined Mercurae in 2025 serving a dual function in legal support and office administration.  It is a very exciting opportunity to work for a growing business, with a refreshing approach in terms of how it offers its services to clients.

Key Expertise:

Providing organisational and administrative skills together with legal support in commercial and company secretarial areas.

How I Help Clients:

I have always maintained an extremely good relationship with clients which is based on reliability and trust.  I have discovered, with experience, it is crucial to deliver a flawless experience without delays or errors.

Why Mercurae:

It is an extremely hardworking, friendly team with a strong commitment to client satisfaction. It has a fresh approach to how a legal firm operates acting as an in-house counsel and fully engages with the emergence of AI.

Outside Work:

Albeit slow, I remain an avid runner, paddleboarding, love walking and then undo it all by eating too much.  I love to travel and will go almost anywhere!  I am a very social person and always have the calendar full to the brim.  I also love to go shopping and to the cinema/theatre with my daughter.
