What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level position that will help me launch my career, expand my skills, teach me new things and further my understanding of what I already know.

At UNIZULU LAW CLINIC, I conducted legal research and analysed legal issues to support attorneys and student practitioners in client matters. I also assisted with drafting legal memoranda and supporting documents, and with case preparation.

At SANDILE DLOMO INCOPORATED, I drafted legal reports, statements, bills of costs and acknowledgements of debt. I'm seeking an entry-level position where I can launch my career, expand my skills and build my understanding of legal practice.
