Detail-oriented paralegal with strong interpersonal and legal skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly detail-oriented and self-motivated paralegal with a strong background in law and communication. My journey began with a First Class Honours degree in Law from the University of Bradford, where I honed my skills in various legal disciplines, including Criminal Law and Human Rights Law. My academic achievements laid the foundation for my practical experience in the legal field.
In my role at SSB Law, I managed a caseload, drafted legal documents, and provided exceptional customer service to clients. My proactive approach to legal research and compliance ensured that claims progressed efficiently. Additionally, my volunteering experience at Haider Solicitors and Roundhay Solicitors allowed me to further develop my legal drafting and client management skills. I thrive in team environments and am committed to delivering high-quality results under pressure.
