What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values analytical skills and offers growth opportunities in a collaborative environment.

I am a detail-oriented paralegal with over three years of experience in the legal field, complemented by a strong background in business intelligence and analysis. My unique combination of a business degree and legal studies has equipped me with the skills necessary to conduct thorough research, analyze complex data, and provide actionable insights. I thrive in environments that require critical thinking and attention to detail, ensuring that I adhere to strict confidentiality and regulatory standards.

Currently, I work as a Fee Earner/Paralegal, where I draft and review contracts, conduct due diligence, and prepare legal summaries. My previous roles have honed my analytical abilities and allowed me to collaborate effectively across functions. I am confident that my legal experience will enhance strategic decision-making within any analytical team, making me a valuable asset to organizations seeking a proactive and adaptable analyst.
