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

    • I am involved in assisting with legal work related to the practice that I am in. This changes every year/6 months which gives me a variety of work that I get involved in.

    8/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have both learnt and developed my skills by a vast amount throughout the three years I have currently been in my role. The exposure that I receive and the knowledge that I gain will enable me to be miles ahead as an NQ.
