The firm's collaborative and cohesive work culture is the ideal environment for me to develop professionally, knowing that I can seek support from my colleagues when work or life becomes challenging.
The great thing about this job is that you work with people from all backgrounds. It is rare to find someone who has the same experiences as you – whether that be where you grew up, what degree you studied at university or how you ended up in this job. We all bring a unique perspective!
On a personal level, being surrounded by down-to-earth people who genuinely care about your experiences and well-being makes a big difference to my life as a junior lawyer.
The aspect of my job I love the most is the teamwork it involves. Each matter often requires input from various practice groups, meaning you are always working with and learning from different people.
Today I have the opportunity to attend an informal settlement conference with one of the Senior Associates in my team. These are a really good opportunity to see the parties in action, and it’s great when a settlement is reached.
