What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic legal role that fosters growth and challenges my skills.

I am a dedicated legal professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Law from the University of KwaZulu Natal. My journey in the legal field began with a role as a Legal Intern at Ndwandwe Attorneys, where I honed my skills in managing case files, conducting legal research, and assisting in trial preparations. This foundational experience solidified my passion for law and equipped me with practical skills that I have continued to develop.

Currently, I serve as a Litigation Secretary at Hughes - Madondo Incorporated, where I provide essential administrative support to lawyers, ensuring effective communication with clients and meticulous preparation of legal documents. My experience spans various areas of law, including criminal law, civil litigation, and property law, allowing me to engage in court appearances and mediations. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my participation in practical legal training.
