What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated legal assistant with extensive experience in customer service and legal documentation. My current role as a paralegal at Winn Solicitors has honed my skills in managing a large caseload, drafting court documents, and building rapport with clients. I thrive in both team environments and independent settings, showcasing my ability to balance multiple responsibilities effectively.
Currently in my final year at Northumbria University, I am on track to achieve a First Class Honours in my MLaw degree.
