Meinir qualified in 1993 and practised for a period of time in London. In 2001, she returned to Swansea and joined JCP Solicitors, specialising in Clinical Negligence. Following JCP’s expansion into West Wales, it was recognised that a specific role was needed to ensure that the needs of both new and existing Welsh speaking clients, and the ever growing number of Welsh speaking team members, were provided for. In 2012 therefore Meinir was appointed Welsh Language Coordinator.
Her role involves the creation and monitoring of the firm’s Welsh Language Policy, with the aim of enhancing the services available to clients and JCP’s contact with the public. Meinir also coordinates the translation of documents and literature and compliance with relevant legislation. In August 2014 JCP enjoyed a highly successful attendance at the National Eisteddfod in Carmarthenshire having taken a stand there to celebrate opening our offices in Carmarthen. Likewise JCP were proud sponsors of the National Eisteddfod in Cardiff in 2018, hosting our first Welsh Business Breakfast on the ‘Maes’. The Welsh Business Breakfast is now an annual event in our calendar.
Meinir often features on radio and TV promoting the Welsh language in business. She is a fluent Welsh speaker and his happy to conduct matters either formally or informally through the medium of Welsh.
Meinir is also a committee member of Swansea and District Law Society and takes an active role in helping to organise and plan their events.
