Amanda Sneddon is based in our Glenrothes office. She has been in practice as a civil solicitor for 17 years. 

She spent 15 years working within a Local Authority court team before deciding that she wanted to return to private practice to use the knowledge, contacts and skills she had gained working at the Council.   She was employed by another local firm as an Associate and was promoted to Senior Associate within that year before deciding to move on to Basten Sneddon to open our branch office in Glenrothes.
