Summary

I am an admitted barrister and solicitor who had a current practising certificate issued on the 22nd of February 2024 and expired on the 30th of June 2024 (was to help with employment opportunities). I am looking for my first Barrister/Solicitor role/similar legal role. A quick and flexible learner, I am always prepared for any shortcomings that may come my way in a job. I am reliable and punctual, and always strive to deliver quality work. I love a challenge and having worked in customer service has helped me to develop and sharpen my communication skills. I am adaptable, conscientious and creative with an emphasis on attention to detail, and I possess excellent written and verbal skills. I thrive on collaborating with and learning from others. I believe I can be a well-rounded asset to your business, offering a diverse skill set; someone who is not only capable in any client facing role, but who can assist with technological, and administration matters if required.
