What can I do for you

Valentine is an associate in the firm's surety team. She advises clients across the UK, Europe and the US on a wide range of surety matters. She works with sureties, banks, insurers and other corporate clients on bonds and guarantees, the establishment and amendment of indemnity arrangements, and transaction security packages.

In addition, Valentine supports the firm's wider banking team on general corporate lending and trade finance matters. She also works with the restructuring and insolvency team, advising on insolvency-related issues and assisting clients with creditor claims and the management of insolvency processes.

Supporting your ambitions

Valentine enjoys working on the diverse and often complex transactions involving surety instruments. She has experience in multi-jurisdictional matters, coordinating with clients, counterparties and overseas counsel to navigate differing legal and regulatory requirements, and ensure the timely delivery of certificates, approvals and documentation to help transactions progress smoothly.

What else should you know

Fluent in Vietnamese, French, and English, Valentine is an avid reader in all these languages. Outside of work, Valentine is also often found on the ski slopes: what she may still lack in ability, she enthusiastically makes up for in determination.

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
