Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
My name is Janathie Rashimini Fernando, and I am an aspiring attorney currently reading for my Attorney-at-Law qualification at Sri Lanka Law College. I hold a Bachelor of Laws (Honors) from Staffordshire University and APIIT Law School, where I graduated with a Second Class: 1st Division. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in legal principles and practices.
Throughout my professional experience, I have honed my skills as a Paralegal Intern at Velox Legal, where I managed correspondence and organized email records, ensuring efficient communication within the legal team. Additionally, as a Legal Assistant, I drafted court documents and participated in case preparations, gaining valuable insights into the legal process. My part-time role as a Transcriptionist further developed my attention to detail and proficiency in legal documentation.
