I am an experienced legal secretary and paralegal with a long track record supporting law firms and senior partners, currently serving as Senior Secretary / Paralegal at Atherstone and Cook. I combine solid academic credentials in law (LLB and LLM in International Business Law) with strong administrative, research, drafting and client-facing skills.
