About me
I am a dedicated Commercial Lawyer with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in finance. I have over 16 months of experience specialising in litigation, transactions, and property disputes. My legal expertise is complemented by strong skills in contract negotiation, drafting, and client management.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various legal roles including commercial law practice, legal assistance, and internships, gaining valuable experience in briefing barristers, preparing legal documents, and managing case files using different legal software platforms. I am proficient in Microsoft Suite and have experience with file management systems and electronic court filing.
I have also developed strong communication skills through client interactions, presenting seminars, and participating in client interviews. My background includes bookkeeping and administrative responsibilities, which have enhanced my organizational and problem-solving abilities.
I am passionate about continuous learning and have pursued additional qualifications such as a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice. I am committed to providing high-quality legal support and maintaining professional client relationships.
In addition to my legal career, I have volunteered in various capacities, including drafting legal correspondence for a criminal law clinic and supporting community events. I am a team player who values collaboration and strives to meet deadlines efficiently.
I am eager to contribute my legal knowledge and skills to a dynamic team where I can further develop my expertise and make a meaningful impact in commercial law.
