PRACTICE MANAGER
Thea Villanueva
Thea is the girl in the background. Her role requires her to wear many hats to provide support to the lawyers and paralegals allowing them to focus on the essential task of practising law. She undertakes a diverse range of responsibilities including HR, IT and equipment, office procedures, and administration to oversee the proper running of the practice.
ADMINISTRATION & MARKETING ASSISTANT
Edward Favis
Edward joined Dormer Stanhope in 2022. Aside from carrying-out administrative tasks and making sure our marketing efforts are being monitored, he is also the “IT guy” and the “handyman” in the office. Edward is somewhat of a jack-of-all-trades.
In his free time, he enjoys playing PC games and riding downhill on his mountain bike.
