What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated legal secretary with a Diploma in Law and currently completing my Bachelor of Commerce in Law.

Over the past two years, I have gained valuable experience in various legal fields, where I have honed my skills in legal administration, client liaison, and document drafting.

My role at Z Smit Inc Attorneys has allowed me to manage third-party claims and draft medico-legal reports, showcasing my ability to handle complex legal tasks efficiently.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong competencies in problem-solving and teamwork, which have been essential in providing high-quality legal support.

My experience at Collins Attorneys further solidified my administrative skills, where I was responsible for managing incoming correspondence, legal drafting and filing court documents.

I am passionate about the legal field and am committed to delivering exceptional service to clients and colleagues alike.
