What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my legal expertise while providing opportunities for professional growth and development.

I am a dedicated legal professional with a strong focus on achieving outcomes and supporting both internal and external stakeholders. My experience as a Candidate Attorney at Legal Aid South Africa has equipped me with notable expertise in criminal and civil litigation, legal administration, and customer service. I have conducted numerous consultations, represented clients in various legal proceedings, and have a proven track record of drafting legal documents in accordance with established procedures.

Prior to my role at Legal Aid, I served as a Legal Administrative Intern at the Department of Education, where I provided legal advisory services and prepared legal recommendations for the head of department. My background also includes experience as an Office Administrator, where I honed my organizational and administrative skills. I am proactive, methodical, and eager to learn, always striving to adapt to new challenges in the legal field.
