What I'm looking for

I seek a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated paralegal with extensive experience in corporate and commercial law, currently working at Lauren Obee Legal Ltd. My role involves drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts and NDAs, where I maintain a high standard of accuracy while managing a significant caseload. I thrive in dynamic environments, leveraging my diverse cultural background to effectively collaborate with clients and colleagues alike.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to handle complex legal matters, including my pro bono work with Addleshaw Goddard LLP, where I reviewed contracts and managed death row cases. My academic achievements, including a First Class Honors in Law from De Montfort University, complement my practical experience, equipping me with the skills necessary to excel in the legal field.
