You will be working alongside highly regarded Partners who are recognised in The Legal 500, assisting on their high value, complex caseload.
 
There are plenty of opportunities for career development. The Partners will be delegating complex aspects of their cases.

What’s one goal you’re working towards this year?

Professionally I am working toward Senior Consultant, pretty close now will have that in the bag by the end of the year. Personally I am looking to move house, need something a bit bigger and something with a garage so I can tinker.


What’s your favourite way to unwind after a busy day?

Don't get much chance to unwind with a 2-year-old, my unwinding is the tram journey home. I do love coming home and spending quality time with my family though, nothing beats that.


If you weren’t in recruitment, what would you be doing?

Well my degree is in in microbiology focused heavily on soil so probably that. Glad I'm not though I don't think I would be able to handle all that excitement...
