Reviews
My role is very interesting and I have a diverse range of day-to-day responsibilities. I am given a degree of independence with tasks so that I am able to continue developing, while also having good support and guidance from those more senior than me in my team.
They are very varied and an effort is made to expose me to work that will develop my knowledge.
Hands on litigation style work which includes drafting court documents, advices, speaking with clients, counsel and barristers etc.
