1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I was a business administrator/receptionist for a law firm, I dealt with office admin and assisting all departments which lead to legal exposure too. Started off noting post, responding to enquiries, taking calls, blossomed into doing tasks of a legal assistant for various departments and assisting when needed.
