What I do

I work as a paralegal in the residential conveyancing department. On a day-to-day basis my role is to learn from and help the fee earners with their cases. So far, I help the team with various tasks like drafting documents, speaking to clients, checking requisitions and closing files. 

I am still trying to decide what areas I wish to specialise in after I have finished my LPC. At the moment my favourite areas have been Medical Negligence, Criminal Justice, international Trade law, Human Rights Law and Commercial Law. However, I enjoyed most of the subjects I studied.

This is my first conveyancing role, and I am looking to finish my LPC in 2026. Before this I have have mostly customer service-based roles and also worked in debt collection for 9 months. After this I will be seeking a training contract to qualify. 

I would like to say I’m a positive person and I tend to learn quite quickly. 

I spend most of my time when I’m not working or studying either reading or swimming.
